In this squad photo, there's only person whose name I know. My my father's cousin, W. McKEE, is marked x seated front. Hope someone might manage to ID one of the other men. It's possible that one of the men featured in the photo is Michael J. DELANEY Michael Delaney who had trained at the same time as Dad's cousin, was last seen alive by my father during Op. Market Garden, He was sheltering from shelling etc under a tank and urging Dad to join him. Dad and others including their platoon officer who ended up badly wounded in the arm, were already heading for a small cottage which seemed to be safer, comparatively speaking.
