(2 people are missing from this list, because their pics are miserably hard to find and I’m already running out of time)
Apologies for the late post, folks.This question will stay open for longer.
Cracked only by Goyal and Vijay Shankar, who got the whole question perfect.
Answer:
All the awards the ACM gives out that are named after people are named after these people :-) To quote Vijay Shankar:
1. Alan Turing
2. Gordon Bell
3. John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert
4. Grace Hopper
5. Paris Kanellakis
6. Alan Newell
The people missing would be Eugene Lawler and Karl V Karlstrom.
They all have ACM awards named after them.

Pioneers in computer science & were provided services to their defence forces.
Not been able to identify the other folks so not sure if that is the connect.

I can recognise only Alan Turing and Grace Hopper. The connect I reckon should be awards..we have a Turing Award and Grace Murray Hopper Award..

Alan turing- The first stored computer
Grace Hooper-first programming language
The only two that I can identify thanks to some earlier quizzes…
The connect probably firsts in Computer history
