Many thanks for posting those pictures Guzzman. I have a feeling that many years ago I saw a copy of the one with the crossed rifles in front, and have a suspicion my father may be in the photo. He enlisted in the RMLI in 1918 and went on to serve 26 years in the Royal Marines. Invalided out in 1944 after being blown up in Italy in 1943.
I went over the photo with a magnifying glass and have a vague idea I might have recognised him, probably not as so many of them look pretty much alike, but it sure gave me a jolt.
Best wishes,
John
