I have just posted a new album for the above named Commando. Les and my father were good friends, my father being best man at les's wedding to Molly. Les was wounded and taken prisoner during Operation Chariot - St Nazaire. One of the photos we have is well known and taken by the Germans on his capture.

Pete Rogers, son of LSgt Joe Rogers MM & nephew of TSM Ken McAllister. Both No2 Commando.
God and the Soldier, all men adore, In time of danger and not before.
When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the Soldier slighted.
