Hi Kiwiron
Thank you for the photos from your Father's collection which I have now added to our No 7 Commando gallery. Here is a direct link to that gallery:
http://gallery.commandoveterans.org/cdoGallery/v/units/7/
If you wish to confirm your full name I will amend the credit shown against each to reflect that.
If you also confirm the date of your Father's death, and the Regiment from which he was attached to the Commandos (his service no. suggests The King's Regt), I will add that to our Obituaries and Nominal Roll entries.
Finally you will note I have split into two the photo of LCpl. Snelson and Pte. Chapman. Can you confirm I have put the right name against each photo ?
Thanks again for posting them with the information included.
