Hi Nick

Sure interesting conversation between yourself and Phil.As you know I have just received the service papers of my uncle William Haynes. Going by his papers he was posted to 5th Commando (Special Service) 2.10.40 so I can assume that he was in that area at that time. What a great Job Phil did in getting those photographs and the diaries. Very very interesting.

Thanks Nick for doing a great job

Regards Ken

Thank you Pete. Much appreciated information. I am sure I am going to have to wait quite a while before I can get any info from his service papers. Indeed we will never forget. Ken

My uncle William was KIA during or just after Operation "Shingle" in Italy.
His DOD is 04/02/1944. He is in the CWG in Anzio.
I have just received a transcript of his marriage Dated 24th Sept 1941 at 'Helensburgh' Scotland that he was a batchelor aged 24 "a Private 5th Commando(Now engaged in War Service)"

Nick is trying to help me with this. Thanks

Ken
