Hi Pauline

Are you able to take a snapshot of the paragraph or sentence / surrounding content where RNB SS7 is mentioned.
Pete Rogers, son of LSgt Joe Rogers MM & nephew of TSM Ken McAllister. Both No2 Commando.

I personally have no precise information on what they were doing on D Day hopefully others will. Without knowing how much or how little you already know about his service I will add the following in case you are not aware.

RNB SS7 was Royal Naval Beach Signal Section no.7. Your Father is listed on this 11th December 1943 nominal roll that includes RNB SS7.

The Relay System website has a good deal of information on the Royal Naval Beach Commandos and Signal Sections. Here is a list of Naval Party numbers that Signals Sections were allocated
