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.

Do not speak.....unless it improves on Silence.

A good teacher opens the door.....you must enter yourself.

That's fantastic Stephen....what a wonderful keepsake for you and your family.
Although my Dad was a member from 1943 when they CA first set up I don't think he was there.

Great piece of history.
