Another booklet amongst my father's possessions has been found. Who wrote this I do not know, but I suspect it was one of the officer's of No.2 Commando. Although it does not go into great detail it does give an interesting insight and adds to the history of No.2 Cdo already on our site. At the end there is a list of numbers of casualties, and also of decorations and awards. The document was not in good order and difficult to copy but I have done my best and it can be downloaded here as a PDF file

That is so great, Pete. I've just quickly scanned through it and will now get into it in earnest. What a wonderful find !

Great find Pete , thanks. This matches a lot of info in my Dads diary only with a little more detail.
I recall hearing the story about the Danish butter ,it must have been a real treat.
Also, my folks anniversary was April 10 th
a rush job with the date moved forward due to being shipped out for Gib on the 13th.
