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.

Pete Rogers, son of LSgt Joe Rogers MM & nephew of TSM Ken McAllister. Both No2 Commando.
God and the Soldier, all men adore, In time of danger and not before.
When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the Soldier slighted.

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
