#3193076 Private D McDougall
(5th KOSB, June 1940)
12 Commando (October 1942)
C Troop, 4 Commando (D-Day)
Am researching wartime history of 5th Battalion, King's Own Scottish Borderers (KOSB), 1939-45.
Seeking any information about #3193076, Private D McDougall, who originally served with A Company, 5th KOSB, at the beginning of the war.
He was with this unit in France in mid-June 1940, when it formed part of 52nd Lowland Division in the 2nd British Expeditionary Force (2nd BEF).
I believe he may have moved to 9th KOSB after the return from France in June 1940 before then transferring to the Commandos. I am not sure at what point between 1940 & 1942 his transfer to the Commandos took place.
I know that he was with 12 Commando at Bridport in October 1942 and that he is listed on the nominal roll of C Troop, 4 Commando (under the command of Captain D Style MC) at the time of the D-Day landings (per list posted in Gallery on CVA website, courtesy of John Martin)
Any further details, wartime service information, photos, references would be very greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
5KOSB

Hi Rod
Pte McDougall was in No.12 Commando and No.4 Commando. He did become a member of the original Commando Association but was not heard of by them after doing so post war. I have emailed you contact details of Ron Youngman who may have more information for you
