Hi Eileen - I've attached the photo for you :) it is dated August 1944, in Turkey - the back lists the men as
1. Ron Ross
2. Bill McKenzie
3. Cyril Knowles
4. Bill Coleman

GUY - I don't think my Grandfather would have been wrestler but you never know! I'll ask my Dad next time I see him :) Thanks for the info about the uniform, I'll do a bit more digging. On the back of his photo he went into quite a bit of detail about the lanyard and explained that it was only issued to F Platoon?? but all he says is British Army

Thanks Graham at least I know I'm on the right track

I can confirm that Cyril passed away in 2003 in South Australia, I went to his funeral - I didn't realise our family had put his Army info on the obituary, where did you find that?

I have another photo here that has a few other people in it that he's named - Is there somewhere I can upload that in case someone else is searching for these people?

Hi,

I'm very new at this and I'm just fishing around for some information on my Grandfather Cyril Knowles. I have a photo of him on his wedding day which he has written on the back that it is from 1941 and explains that his uniform is for the 4th Commando British Army F Troop.

I'm just trying to figure out if I'm on the right track

Thanks
Sam
