Joe, who is 91 years young, was a late joiner to No 1 Commando. He has sent me a transcript of an article he wrote about his life in the Army.

I have now placed this on the site and it can be accessed either on the link via the gallery image for Joe here:

http://gallery.commandoveterans.org/cdoGallery/v/units/1/joe+longson+3.jpg.html

or in the main archive here: http://www.commandoveterans.org/Joe_Longson_1_Commando

Thanks Joe for allowing us to post it on our website.

Joe Longson (No. 1 Commando) has been in touch again all the way from New Zealand. He is looking for a specific photo of No. 1 Commando 4 troop that is not in our gallery. It would be a 1944/45 image. If you have any photos not already in our gallery please provide us with a copy. Our No. 1 Commando Gallery can be viewed here:
