Yes I?ve seen that photo thanks, think I spot Syd but not my dad

I?ll just have to keep searching.

Just on another subject. Did Marines ever don the ?Chip bag? style hat only I?ve just found another photo of my dad with a hat in his shoulder lapel? Didn?t think marines wore them

I?ve tried to add pictures of Syd but it won?t let me attach them, even when I select the smallest res

Any chance you can give me your email so I can send them direct

Kind regards

Steve

Yes there the documents i was referring to.
just a bit dissapointed that he's not on the list.

i know he did some parachuting at Ringway. and i'm not sure whether he was a sniper

anyway thanks you so much for your response.
just a quick one. just found a picture of a Marine called Syd Mundy 45 Commando who was my dads best pal, i think he may have been in A Tp
is it ok if i add his picture

Thanks
