Dear All,
I'm looking for information about the late No6 Commando, Georgie Dee ( if i'm correct )
This commando veteran did visit the Netherlands early 2000's and past away in 2010 as far as i can remember.
I was wondering if someone has period photo or other information about this individual.
Thank you, Niels

Hi Niels,
I cannot find any reference to a Geordie Dee ever serving in No.6 Commando and he isn't mentioned on Peter Bowe's VI Commando website http://www.6commando.com/index.html.
This doesn't necessarily mean he wasn't with No.6 Cdo and if you can find evidence to show he was in No.6, I will happily add him to the Nominal Roll.

Hi Niels
Graham Cooper has just done a bit of digging and found this:
Lt Colonel Harold Wallace Dee MBE. Known to friends as Geordie. Geordie passed away on Tuesday in the age of 87.

Hi Neils,
To be honest, before you mentioned him in your post, we had not heard anything about him.
I'm trying to track down a photo of him.
There are a few here of him hen he was in the Trucial Oman Scouts https://trucialomanscouts.smugmug.com/Military/Geordie-Dee/
