Remembering Tom McCormack, died of wounds, Bill Hughes and Syd Murdoch both captured, all at St Nazaire and all Liverpool Scottish/QOCH & 5(Scottish) Troop, No 2 Commando. Wonderful company & welcome guests billeted with my grandfather in Ayr in 1941-2. |

I've certainly heard that too.
My old next-door neighbour was on subs in WW2 and did a lapel badge of his boat - HMS Unseen - out of a spoon. All done while on war patrol in the Med.
