Thank you Nick

Does anyone know if there are records of the old Commando Association and if they can be accessed?
Maybe worth trying the Royal Marines Association, or the Commando Museum?

Ian

Hi Pete, Nick

Thanks for the replies, it is the same James Crooks. He died in 1966. Was he active in the old Commando Association, do you think there's any possibility that somewhere there's a photo of him? I realise it's a long shot that anyone would remember him after all this time, but fingers crossed.

regards
Ian

Hi

I would like to hear from anyone with information on James Crooks, my great uncle. By any chance if anyone has memories or anecdotes or photographs, I'd love to hear about them. I have his service record, just hoping there may be a chance to add anything to the bare details.

He served in Sicily and Normandy. Not sure if he would have maintained contact with other veterans after the war.

Thanks
Ian
