James Henry Brooks and fellow sailors

[1958ab]

I have a photgraph taken about 1941 of my grandfather with a group of other ratings outside a wooden hut(training)?.All have signed the back of the photo,although some are unreadable.I can make out A.Stroud,A.West,H.Goswell,Dixie Dean,D.Haskins,J.Higgs,C.A.Grant,James White,R.Burnham.the following names are hard to make out J.B.Covington,Braton,V.Z.Collins,B.R.Jeagues,J.E.Balewin.
My grandfather served from Jan 1941-Dec 1945 with the 3rd ML Flotilla?and spent much of his service time in Malta.
I would be grateful for any information about my grandfather,his unit or those he served with.
Many Thanks Alan

Hello again Alan
Wallis Randall still has not come back with an answer yet. (he was on ML's out of Malta at one time) but more importantly for you here - he has a complete List of former CFVA members, a 'trawl' through that may just turn up a few of the names. I have a copy of the final List but most of the earlier deceased members are omitted. I shall keep on 'pestering' him.
Meanwhile can you post up a couple of images here? - it may just jog a few memories of others.
Regards
