Remembering all the Fallen, including Commandos, at Salerno in September 1943.

Some of their graves can be viewed here : Salerno War Cemetery

More information about some of the individuals who died and were buried at Salerno War Cemetery can be found on the link below. Just click on a name to read the information we have on that individual. Primarily No 2 Commando at the moment but this will extend in time to information on 41RM Commando and others:

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.
