No info on him as yet Ted but i have been trying to identify his cap badge.
I've played around with it and come up with a bit more detail that may help to identify the Regt/Corps...
As you were, Cpl... )

Hi Ted
Percival Harold Collett was in No.3 Commando . He died on the 18th June 2002. May I ask what your interest is, ie . family, friend, memorabilia collector,etc.
Regards
Pete
Update 15/1/11: Photo now added to the No.3 Cdo. gallery and can be seen on this link to page 2 of that gallery:
