Hi Christine
With the information you have given I think this puts your father
in No 1 Cdo or No 6 Cdo as these were both in the 'Torch' landings in N/Africa.
Also No 6 earlier had been at Vaagso Norway. However in the earlier Independent companies personel from No1 had also been in Norway. No 1Cdo was formed with men from this earlier formation.
Men were often posted between Commando units and seconded for their specialist skills.
Soorry to seem to be confusing but it's all deduction really.........if we could throw light on the later part of his service things may come into focus.
Anyone out there to help here?
Best regards
John M
