Hello :D

Anyone with information on Captain Keith A. Smith (aka Quas Cohen) :?:

Served with No.1 (later becoming No.101) Troop of No.6 Commando from 1940 (in Scarborough) until 12th November 1941 when he was reported as captured, along with L/Cpl. Cecil Woodhouse, when their canoe failed to return from the Operation Sunstar recconaissance mission to the East of Houlgate (France).

Lt. Keith A. Smith had been promoted to Captain following his selection to lead a group of twenty-four (including himself) volunteers for dangerous duties operating in the Channel, as from May 1941.

No record at CWGC of these men.

Any relatives with info :?: or anyone come across Keith A. Smith during their research :?:

I am researching the role played by "Swordfish" 101 Troop and their eventual formation into No 2 "SBS" Special Boat Section, now known as Special Boat Service 8)

Thanks :-)
