Here is a newspaper cutting of an obituary for Bill Boucher-Myers from No. 4 Commando kindly sent to me by Richard Wells. As can be read in the article, he remained in the Army after the war being awarded the DSO in Aden. Click on the link below for the details

Pete Rogers, son of LSgt Joe Rogers MM & nephew of TSM Ken McAllister. Both No2 Commando.
God and the Soldier, all men adore, In time of danger and not before.
When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the Soldier slighted.
