Hi Zoe,
Welcome to the CVA Website & Forums.

We do have your father listed on our No.9 Commando Nominal Roll but, as we are an association, we do not hold any official service records.

Also, if you browse the website you can find out about No.9 Cdo and what they were involved with...

I noticed that you have already found your father in a couple of photos in our Gallery - which is wonderful. Do you have any other photos you may like to share with us?

Are you aware that you can apply to the MoD - the only custodians of WWII service records - for a scan of his original, handwritten records?
I can point you in the right direction if you want to pursue this.

There is also a No.9 Commando Family & Friends Group that I could put you in touch with - it is co-ordinated by Joyce Quarrie, daughter of the late RSM Jack Quarrie, No.9 Cdo. Joyce sends out a newsletter a couple of times each year and the group gathers at Fort William each year for Remembrance Day.
