My Father, Corpl Ronald Edwin Sargeant joined the Royal Marines as a Boy Bugler at 14. He served on the Shropshire and the Anson in 27th Battalion. I'm ploughing my way through his service record and now discover he joined the 45 Commandos in June 1949. He is listed as being in Hong Kong and Malaya in 49 - October 51 There is no mention of the 45 Commandos after this. Does anyone know what they were doing in Malaya and was it usual for Commandos to leave after a couple of years?
