Hi

In Corran Purdon's book "List the Bugle",he gives a history of his life.

He joined 12 Cdo,when it was commanded by Lt.Col "Peachy" Harrison,and the 2i/c was Caryll Cooper Key,of the Royal Inniskilling Fusilier.

Has anyone any information on Cooper Key,or known who was the 2i/c.

Thanks
By their deeds they shall be known

Hi Graham
There are references to this Officer in our Forum on messages for 142 Commando. Additionally he resigned his commission 16 June 1944 reference LG 36721, page 4475. Rank Captain (W/S Major). Service number 44852. I have added his name to the 12 commando nominal roll.
