The man standing to the viewer’s right three people from Halsey in the front row is Gen Walter Krueger, commander of the 6th Army. The man standing to Halsey’s right three people away in the front row with only his cap visible above Percival’s is VAdm John S McCain.
Note also the battleship USS South Dakota in the background.

Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill
