Hi and thank you for the photos. They are quite small in size so blur when enlarged. Would it be possible to email me (see address below) full size copies so as I can properly assess them. At present it would appear we have no details of your Father which happens sometimes because we do not have access to official service records. Would you advise me of the following where known:
Your Father?s rank, service number, Commando unit/s served, and his position in both photos as you look at them.
Many thanks
