Subject: Commando Records for WW2
Hello,
I have been researching family history and we have been trying to locate the service records of my Grandfather John George Patterson (MX90564) we know his was a Royal Naval Commando, Combined Operations.
Does the museum have any records that are searchable for information please?
Thanks for your help
Regards
Graham Patterson
I have advised him I have posted on Commando Veterans Archive.

Here is a photo of John George Patterson, and his new bride, sent in by his grandson, Graham.
Any help on this one would be appreciated.
