Harry Lumm of 4 Troop No 2 is also remembered by Eric. Roy Evans, who is Harrys nephew, had asked me to remember Harry to him, Eric replies
" I can Remember Harry Lumm quite well. He was the Unit Heavy Weight Boxer, though he was not in 5 Troop and I cannot remember which Troop he was in. Jack Payne was the Light Heavy Weight as it was expressed in those Days."
Harry was in 4 Troop. After the war Eric and his brother Stanley started boxing. Here he mentions about that:
" After the War Jack Payne, my Brother Stanley & I all enlisted in the London (TA) 10th Battalion Parachute Regiment. We were in number 3 Company, Based at Dagenham Essex. Jack Payne persuaded us to make up a Company Boxing Team, and we won the Inter Company Trophy, 5 years running, so they gave it to us and set up another Trophy."
Tough bunch those Commandos
