Just a little bit about Doug Twiddy who was in 5 troop No.2 Commando. Before and after the war Doug was in the film industry working as a Locations Manager and then Production Supervisor and Production Manager. He worked on many famous films such as David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia, and George Lucas's The Shining. Other directors and actors he worked with were Stanley Kulbrick, Oliver Reed, Sidney Poitier. There is a list of all his films that he was involved in on this link:

There are several pictures of Doug in the 5 troop sub album of No.2 Cdo. provided recently by Walter Ainslie also of 5 troop who now lives in Edinburgh. Sadly Doug passed away on the 8th August 1990.

In memory of Doug Twiddy 5 troop No.2 Commando 6/1/1919 - 8/8/1990

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.
