44 Commando Gallery Photos

My son discovered this site a couple of weeks ago and, looking through Ted Redmond's collection of 44 Commando photos, came across a picture of a commando who we believe may be his grandfather (my father). The photo is entitled Under Way, and we think he's in the foreground of the photo. He may also be in the one entitled On Board. I intend to post a photo of my father. His name is Edmund Nelson. As a Royal Marine, he joined 44 Commando in August 1943 and was involved in combined operations in Burma being wounded in action at Hill 170 on 26th January 1945. Now aged 99, I suspect he will be one of the few surviving founder members of the 3rd Brigade. I'd be really grateful if you could provide any further details of where and when the photos were taken. It would be great to have any further information just to confirm that it is him.
Thanks, Susan

Susan has kindly provided a photo of her father, Mne. Edmund Nelson, which I have placed here and in our 44RM Commando gallery. Susan adds the following

He enlisted as a Royal Marine (EX3368) in February 1940 and joined 44 Commando D Troop in August 1943. He was involved in combined operations in the Far East and Burma, and was wounded in action at Hill 170 on 26th January 1945. His service ended in December 1945. He is now aged 99. I have sent off the cva membership application form which my dad signed himself despite now being severely visually impaired; he still has the Commando Spirit !

A big welcome to Edmund, Susan, and her son who found our site.

The photos Susan refers to in her message above can be viewed on these links:
