Hi Paul

Great article I found it very interesting, to be honest I have been meaning to contact you concerning a message that was posted on this site last year regarding the first ever Commando raid ie Operation Collar. The message had an attachment that contained the nominal roll of the men who took part in this raid which was carried out by the specially formed No11 Independent Company. I knew form my father's Army records that he was in No11 however over three hundred men volunteered for this uinit with only 115 actually taking part in it. The nominal roll for No11 that was posted in the earlier message confirmed that my father actually took part in this historic first ever raid. If you look at the list you will also see the name of another volunteer ie A. Wogel, given the rarity of this surname I assume that this is referring your father?

If you have any further information I would be interested, only now finding things out about my father, for sure the war changed him, but then again that's not suprising, lads must have gone through hell, just hope I'm half the man my father was.

Thanks
Paul
