I have created a sub album in the Gallery for No.2 Commando with information and pictures I have found about three of the No.2 Commandos who escaped to freedom after Musketoon.
They are L/Sgt Richard O'Brien DCM, MM and Pvt Fred Trigg MM.
and Gdsm. John Fairclough MM
Sadly Pvt Trigg was killed in action later in the war.

There is a transcript of how they escaped included in the album which I found in a book called the Commando Gallantry Awards of WW2 but I am not sure where they took it from

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.
