Pte. A. Marnock is shown on the nominal roll for 5 Commando, however his full details are not listed. I have his First Pattern FS knife, Glengarry, a photo and his medals, 39-45 Star, Burma Star, Defence medal and luckily his Territorial Efficiency Medal which has his details on.
I was hoping that his details could now be added to the nominal roll to fill in the gaps.
Regards
