Good afternoon,
I recently received the fantastic news that the BBC1 will be making a 30 documentary about Operation Abercrombie, 4 Commando's raid on Hardelot near Boulogne in April 1942. It is to be filmed around July and broadcast late this year.
The producer would very much like to find any surviving participants of 4 Commando who were there, or at Dieppe four months later. He would also like to speak to any relatives of those men.
If anyone can help in any way, please can you drop me a message.

Just to let you know most of the filming has been completed and the documentary should be on sometime in later November. It will be on BBC1. I will update you when I know more.

The word from the powers that be at the BBC have told me that it will probably be on in January. As soon as I get a confirmed date I will let everyone know here.
