40 Commando were at Dieppe. Your dad was a Chatham division marine. Have a look on this site, their is lots of helpful people and pictures, threads etc.

Hi Matt
Welcome to our Forum. 40 RM were originally called The RM Commando.. http://www.commandoveterans.org/40RMCommando
The Combined Operations website have a good account here https://www.combinedops.com/Dieppe.htm
Do you have a photo of your Father. If so please post it or contact me direct if you have any difficulty. I will also update this Archives nominal roll for that Commando.
Here is a bit more about their role at Dieppe and the Commando Fallen http://www.commandoveterans.org/DieppeCdoROH

I?ve managed to do some digging with help of the guys here
And would you believe it my elder brother had this photo all along
It has no dates on it or unit etc
The lads look terribly young

Looks like a King's Squad photo (pre commando) after their basic training was completed probably taken at Deal or Eastney. They have a trophy so were winners of some activity. If you check this site they have links to several King's Squad photos over the years.

Matt, do you have a good photo of your father ideally on his own in uniform or if not in civvies. If so can you add it here and I will include it to the gallery.
