Who was the DCM for underneath the MG 34?
Owen, I think this is him:
Lance Corporal WILLIAM JAMES McQUOID D C M
6460926, 2nd Bn., Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment)
who died age 22 on 29 April 1943
Son of William Cowan McQuoid and Gladys McQuoid, of Balham, London.
Remembered with honour MASSICAULT WAR CEMETERY

The photos don't show it up too well, and there is no mention in the book either. But 99% certain this is the guy; he died in N Africa.
