This photo, I'm assuming taken outside the family home, shows David assigned to Fleet Air Arm. He went on to become part of Combined Ops, went to America in December 1942 to pick up Landing Craft (Infantry) 185 which sailed via Bermuda, Malta, Gibralta, and North Africa (Sousse and Djelli) and Italy before returning home in November 1943. Then preparations started for D-Day. LCI-185 was converted into an HQ ship becoming LCH-185 as part of Operation Overlord. It was sunk on 25th June 1944. Most of those on board were lost (including David) and the ship has never been recovered.
