I am trying to find out as much information as possible about my father George Healey known as Tim. he was in 6th Commando, Troop 5 from 1939 until 1944? He often spoke about the Green Hill. Any information. Thanks

Hi Patsy

Yes Greenhill was a hill that covered the road to Tunis together with Bald Hill and Suger Loaf. No 1 cdo and No 6 Cdo were both present at Greenhill during the Torch landings and the actions that took place after. Greenhill had a dreaded reputation as many patrols and troops were ambushed.....the Germans had it well covered and because of the topography it seemed to be invincible.

hope this helps a bit.
