Pte. Enoch Sheard was transferred from South Lancs Regiment to 3 troop No. 2 Commando.
He served as Batman/runner to Capt. Dickie Brooke in 5 troop, but also appears in panorama photos of 3 Commando. He served in Norway, B E F, Siciily and Egypt. His service record shows he also went on mountain Warfare training in the Lebanon. This was my Dad. A man who never discussed his wartime adventures. I am a daughter left with a service record written in code, trying to match up dates he was 'active overseas' with the dates of Commando operations. I am slowly getting there and sure I am not on my own. Good luck to everyone else on the same journey.
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.
