Dear Stephane:

Regarding your posting "Richard Dorsett, No. 3 Commando", who is remembered with honour as one of the 176 fallen of No. 3, we have noted the information you gave, so we have only indicated data which you did not describe. Our information is little enough, but perhaps it might be useful.

Reg. No.: 6349636 Rank: Private
Parent Unit: Queens Own Royal West Kent Regiment
Place of Birth: Shropshire, England, 1923
AB64 Res.: Croydon, Surrey, England

Descriptive writings of No. 3 Commando's operations at Vaagso, Norway, 1941, and Dieppe, France, 1942, make no reference to this soldier, however it is entirely possible that Pte. Dorsett was involved in No. 3 Commando's campaign in Sicily and the landing at Termoli, Italy in 1943.

We hope that any of the few No. 3 veterans who remain, expecially those of Richard's comrades in Normany, can add further information.

Thank you for remembering a Commando.

Hello BOB

Thank you for your help.
I know a good friend about Dicky DORSETT, Arthur CHIVERS 3 cdo 1 Troop.
But that I would like it's to hear about family. You know, I put flowers on his grave in June.
I have photo about 1 troop but don't know if he is on.
sincerely
