I am the son of Q.M.S.I. J.C. Dickason. My father was in the A.P.T.C. as an instructor in Unarmed Combat at Achnacary Scotland. He was there right up to the end of WWll. I am trying to trace any of his records during that time at the Commando School. He often spoke about Kentra Bay and the setting of machine gun fire on practice beach landings. Previous to the A.P.T.C. he was a trained machine gunner in the Royal Sussex Regt. He passed away while an In Pensioner at the R.H. Chelsea in 2003. If anyone can help me on this venture I would be very grateful. Yours Dougie Dickason. After the Commando School he was posted to Head Quarters West Africa Command. The family went with him from 1947 - 1953. I am Ex Royal Signals. 1954 -1957 Army Apprentices School Harrogate.
R. Signals 1957 - 1968. Radio Tech.
