Hi Nick

There is a previous post about him here. Ronald 'Ken' Young of No.9 Commando who has since died mentioned him, and described him as

" a bloody fine troop sergeant major":

As I said at the time " Thats a great tribute from one soldier about another "

He also took part in what became known as Callf's charge at the Wadi at Anzio. Major Callf MC wrote of thisand it can be read on this link:

It would be great if there were any pictures of him from his army days so we could place a tribute in our gallery

When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the Soldier slighted.

Hello Nick. As Pete has mentioned Ken Young spoke about Frank Walsh. I was fortunate to of known Ken for the past eleven years and just before he passed away he told me one thing he wondered about was what become of Frank. I posted a message on the forum over a year ago for Ken but had no reply. It would be great if you could tell us about frank. Ken spoke highly of him. Regards Marc.

hi Mark,

I only posted the message on behalf of Mark Beveridge who has registered as a new member but has yet to make a post - maybe you'd like to contact him yourself.
by following this link you'll be able to contact him by email or PM.
