Hi Roger,

Welcome to the Website & Forum - I am sure we're all very pleased to hear that you are indeed alive and well - Happy New Year.

I am sorry for reporting your early demise in a thread in January 2018 - I was acting on information received from Des Connelly, (ex-95 Cdo) who assured me that you were one of those tragically killed.

I have made a note on the thread in question http://forum.commandoveterans.org/cdoForum/posts/list/5752.page#21529

And I sincerely apologise if the news of your death has caused you any upset.

Nick

I should just add, Roger, that we never actually posted you onto our Roll of Honour as we could find no corroboration of the information supplied to us. I am not sure if you were referring to the Forum message or the note added to the ROH pages of those who died, but that note has now been removed.

Here is the entry for Bombardier Tate http://www.commandoveterans.org/AlbertTate95Commando

If you have any photos we would gladly add them to our Gallery and the above entries.
