Hi all, I am trying to identify which unit my uncle was with on D-Day. He was Sgt in 3 Commando 4 Troop until wounded at Malati Bridge, Sicily in Aug 1943. Then we found a picture of him in Daily Mail, with the first homing pigeon to make it home after D-Day. Can anyone identify the unit please? He is 3rd from left, in camouflage helmet.
Thankyou,
Martin.

Hi again. I have found a kit bag of his, no. 777595, and found out a bit more about his hsitory. He was born in 1909, and joined the army under age at 15, served in Afghanistan 1929-32. Was in Dunkirk, joined Commandos as one of the first in, shot in arm in Laphoten Islands. The info about being in Africa with Montgomery was second hand, so it may have just been he met Monty, not sure. Definitely at Arnhem and Italy. Don't think he had a middle name. Thanks, Martin.
