Tim Shields sent his father's memoirs to me in March 2010, soon after Robert Hay Shield's death.

Very interesting reading.

Hi Nick

My thanks to Tim for sending this in. I have now placed it in our Personal Letters and diaries album with a copy of the photo of Robert which we already had. It can be viewed here:

I have updated the photo in our 5 Cdo album with the link



Pete Rogers, son of LSgt Joe Rogers MM & nephew of TSM Ken McAllister. Both No2 Commando.
God and the Soldier, all men adore, In time of danger and not before.
When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the Soldier slighted.
