G. D. Colclough 7 Commando and SBS.

During Operation Bigamy Pte. G.D. Colclough, 5726964 of the Dorsetshire Regiment and 7 Commando was serving with the the SBS detachment who took part in the operation, after the raid was aborted one of the SBS men suffered serious burns to his upper body, Pte Colclough volunteered to remain with the injured soldier and subsequently became a prisoner of war. When the Italians capitulated he made his way to a neutral country and then returned to the UK. His name appears to be missing from the 7 Commando Nominal Roll, would it be possible to add his name please?
I have copies regarding him from the WO 417 files which verifies the above capture and escape.

Thanks to both of you, if any one knows the name of the chap he stayed with that would be a great help as well, i have come across one name but can find no record of him.
