I wish to post these two photographs on the website of 44 RM Commandos X troop.
My father William (Bill) Lavender PLY/X 3571 Is on the top row, 5th from the left. Unfortunately there is no date on the back just this information 44RM Commandos x Troop Ceylon, which is written in my father?s hand.
He was mentioned in dispatches, London Gazette, 6th February 1945, Ref.757. Following action at Kangaw village Tuesday 23rd January 1945.
Presented with Oak leaf, was discharged 30th July 1946, rank Sergeant.
Perhaps some other people will find these photographs interesting to their family and searches, maybe depicting a relation of theirs, or able to add other details or names of other Commandos in the photos.
