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.

80 years ago this month. Seven of the ten commandos who took part were captured and later executed at Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp. They are remembered on the Brookwood Memorial.
