Thanks Pete - the funeral was actually in Ayr, so 2 Cdo was very much in my mind as I moved around the town.

The cousin who has passed was born in 1940, but in Ardrishaig. However her grandparents and lots of other relations (including my own grandparents and mother) were in the Ayr area, so it is certainly possible she saw Tom, Bill and Syd as an infant. Perhaps even Joe and Ken!

Remembering Tom McCormack, died of wounds, Bill Hughes and Syd Murdoch both captured, all at St Nazaire and all Liverpool Scottish/QOCH & 5(Scottish) Troop, No 2 Commando. Wonderful company & welcome guests billeted with my grandfather in Ayr in 1941-2.
