PO Bill Anderson is middle row, third from the right. It is interesting to see three types of jacket being worn by the POs – double-breasted with two rows of buttons (the standard uniform then and now) and single-breasted with one row of three and one row of four buttons, as worn by Bill Anderson (presumably a wartime economy measure to reduce the amount of cloth used).
