I have also emailed a set to Mary Crawford.

I'm afraid that's limit on each post Rick, nothing personal - it applies to all of us...
Absolutely fantastic though thanks for sharing.

Hi Nick,
That's ok, no problems.
The people at the Oban Museum are very good and they have asked me to supply my information to them.

I know Bill Leech very well. They have other Commando articles in the War and Peace Museum.
Try a visit if in Oban.
