Any information or service history regarding J D Cox served 3 commando

Like to find out any information regarding jd cox 3 commando (deceased) dont really have anything to go on, any information would be very appreciated, I am in Australia so I'll return any messages asap

Hi Shane

The Private J.D. Cox in our No 3 Commando Nominal Roll should read Private James D. Cox which you will see is how it is written in our Obituaries section. I have now updated this. He was a member of the former Commando Association and the Obituaries section of their March 1989 Newsletter (89) records his name amongst those listed. The Association record his address as Bristol.

Checking our Gallery there is a Private J. Cox who served in 2 Troop of No 3 Commando. The photo was taken just before D Day. I am not certain if you or your Family have photos to compare with it to see if it might be one and the same man. The photo can be viewed here and he is shown as No.7. No 3 Commando 2 Troop May 1944

From your profile I note that you are referring to your Grandfather. If you have a good family photo of him either from his military days or in civvies feel free to attach it in a reply to this message. If you have any difficulties attaching it, send it to me by email. I will then add it to our No 3 Commando Gallery. Could you advise me of your Grandfather's middle name, and his date birth and death please, so as I can update our online record.

Thankyou for your help so far I saw his name in the obituaries but didnt know which troop etc he was in so lots of photos to go through to find him hahaha I'll forward on pictures as I get them if I can, email seems not to want to send them either is there another means ie messenger or face book ?
Again thankyou for helping.

Shane

Hi Shane

I am surprised you cannot email them ? Are you trying to send a lot of large sized images at one time ? Are you unable to add them on the Forum here as an attachment ? Try adding 2 single attachments per message in a reply to this message with as much detail about each as is known.

I am now in email contact with Shane. The No 3 Commando gallery will be updated in due course. Here is a picture of his Grandfather Private James Daniel Cox No 3 Commando.
