Looking for any photographs or information regarding Albert, he died in Italy in July 1944. Was in 40 Rm commando I believe. His grave is in Bari Italy.
Hopefully I will gain more information or even a photograph.
Regards Sarah Jane

Hi Sarah, I imagine you are aware of these but for the record we have this entry on our 40RM Commando Roll of Honour

http://www.commandoveterans.org/AlbertBlake40RMCommando

and you will note I have just added a reference to there being an SOE reference file at the National Archives in his name

https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C9665715

Pete Rogers, son of LSgt Joe Rogers MM & nephew of TSM Ken McAllister. Both No2 Commando.

Sarah has kindly now added a good photo of her Great Uncle to her original post. This will be added to the gallery in due course.
