Many thanks for your speedy reply. I will pass this on to my cousin.

No my aunt is no longer with us.

I was unable to find any photos of my uncle on 7 commando site.

I remember him telling me he was involved in the battle of crete which I found very interesting as I worked in Crete in 1983 and 1990 and had been to Maleme. I seem to recall he told me that on leaving Crete they were adrift in the Med for some days. It would be amazing to hear the full story.

My uncle was (John) Jack Bourke and he was a Cpl.

Thanks once again.

Maria

I want to find the service record for my uncle who was in No 7 commando His name and rank are in the nominal rolls but no service number given I believe I need this to access records??

His son has asked me to do this for him.
