Hi Paul
Welcome to our forums.

Do you have any more info on your grandad?

You say he served in No 4 Commando.............do you have his service record?

Regards

That's a great photo Paul. I see Jimmy Dunning in there (2nd row up 1st man seated on the left) and I think Bill Portman MM in the back row.

I have sent you a pm re the other photos you mention

Regards

Hi paul

Very nice photo.

Below some links if you would like to apply for service record.

Some service records are more complete than others but it will be well worth getting a hold of it if possible.........you'll find it most interesting.

regards
