Hello Douglas
I believe we have an entry for your Father in our awards archive here. Perhaps you can confirm this for me.
http://www.commandoveterans.org/RudolphEdwards40Commando
I will then add more detail from what you have posted and can include a photo of him if you have one. Also if you provide his date and place of birth and date of death (if applicable) I can also include those. Finally are you able to scan at a high resolution the original photo of A Troop and send it to me by email (see email link below). I will then post that into our gallery.

I have sent two emails to the address in the Action button below, one included a scan copy of the photograph as requested, the other further details of my Father.
Kind regards
