I do, my grandfather is the officer sat in the centre. Major Denis Hagger, he was OC from 1943 I believe. The warrant officer to his left is likely to be BSM Allen.

There are four diaries up to Apr 1944 for 504 Coast Regiment on this page http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/results/r?_aq=504%20coast&_ep=artillery&_dss=range&_ro=any&_st=adv

Not digitised so a visit to Kew or using a copy service will be the way to see them.

I am Zoe Northeast, granddaughter of Maximilian Double.
 
It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
Zoe
