Many thanks to Lorraine Brown for help with the names
Stuart McClean named the gent 1st. left as William Hamilton and beside him Maurice Craythorn

In your picture of Preceptory 606 the chap wearing glasses who is directly below the hand holding the Bible on the banner is Jim McCullough (who also features in one of the Fire Service photos). The younger chap two to the left of Jim (white shirt, black tie) is Robert (Bo) McCullough. I don’t think Jim and Bo were related. I think Bo’s son Andrew runs the Ards FC website. - Many thanks to Michael McDowell for the info.
