In the week to come events will be taking place to commemorate the allied attack on the island of Walcheren by the mouth of the River Scheldt. The Commando role was allocated to 4 Special Service/Commando Brigade. We welcome any photos from those attending events. Simply post them here with a description of the event itself. We have a ROH for this action. As always if you spot an error or wish a name included please advise us.
