Looking for any information regarding my uncle private Ernst Nathan/Ernest Norton who was killed in action June 13, 1944.

Hi there

The entry below is our Roll of Honour page for your Uncle:

http://www.commandoveterans.org/ErnstNathan10Commando

Do you have a photo of your Uncle that we could add to that entry? Without knowing what you, or your family, may already have about him can you advise me what exactly is it that you are looking for?

We don't have a photo of my late Uncle Ernest Norton. We were thrilled to see him in the group photo of the 10 Commando 3 Troop unit. We ( all of the nieces and nephews) were told that our Uncle Ernest was a pilot in the Royal Air Force and that he was shot down over Normandy. That was all the information we had about him. Now that I have learned that he was in the 10 Commando 3 Troop, I wonder if that information is correct. I am wondering how he died and where.
Thank you very much,
Debbie Nathan Hamlin

The information we have is based on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) record and the British Army Casualty Records. You will see on the CWGC record on the link previously posted above that it has some family details:

Additional Info
(Served as Ernest NORTON). Son of Moritz and Sibilla Nathan.
Personal Inscription
WITH DEEPEST LOVE NEVER FORGETTING YOU. HILDE, WALTER AND BENNO FROM U.S.A.

On that CWGC record there are also the original grave registration, grave concentration, and headstone files which can be viewed. From those you will see that his original burial was at a place called Sallenelles in Normandy, and he was reburied at Ranville War Cemetery on the 7th August 1945.

Commandos involved in heavy fighting with the enemy in the area of Sallenelles.
