I am looking for any source of information outlining how this Commando met his death, the date and place of which is recorded as 8th May 1945 here:
http://www.francaislibres.net/liste/fiche.php?index=51083
This is so as I can update our ROH page for him:

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.
**** nb. I no longer monitor the pm facility **** |
