The RSM Lomas photo belongs in the Far East photos and is there so has been deleted from here.

As viewed from top down they are:

Berlin - Spandau Jail.  May 1950.  Lieutenant P N St J Saunders and B Company 1st Bn taking over guard duties from the Americans. In addition to a multi-national staff of prison warders the four occupying nations each took it in turns to provide a military guard. This particularly suited the Russians as it allowed them free access into the British Sector of the City.

Comments by Robert Bonner:
The officer in the car is Brigadier DR Morgan the British Berlin Commander - a most excellent officer. The occasion is the King's birthday Parade on 8 June 1950.  The battalion, together with 1st Royal Fusiliers and 1st Black Watch paraded at the Olympic Stadium on the Maifeld parade ground.
