Berald E. Woodcock

I am looking for information on a Maj. Berald E. Woodcock. This Commando was sent to the states along with two sergeants to train U.S. Army personnel in Ranger Training at Camp Edwards, (MA) in the fall of 1942. I have found two photos of him here on this site as an instructor in 1945.
I am looking for more info on his career and what happened to the man after the war. I wrote the true story of Company E 141st Infantry 36th Division that he instructed at Camp Edwards.

I believe this may be your man.

He was commissioned into 4th Battalion Suffolk Regiment and later served in No.1 Commando and became a member of the original Commando Association. Army service number 76597. He was known as Tim and died in 1994. Here are a couple of sources for that and some more info below:
