It is of his Battalion's boxing team.

Please ask your colleagues on your web site if they can help identify anybody, and the occasion.

My Dad seems to think it was prior to or after a boxing match with Americans. He said the lads at the front in were Sgt. Fenan in the boxing kit. He doesn't remember the CSM'S name or the Major's name, but then its the Commanding Officer Col. Gordon Watson, then Major Berridge and RSM George Howe. The next boxer is SGT Gery Whelan.
