No.6 Commando and 5th Battalion operations between 13th Dec 1940 to 11th March 1942

My father John King 3249164 enlisted with Cameronians (S.R) and was posted to 5th Battalion Special Services on 13th Sept 1940 then to No.6 Commando 5th March 1942. After that his War record shows he was then posted to Burma and served with Green Howards 22nd may 1942 then with 142 Reg. 77 Brigade 15th June 1942. After that he was with 5 coy Cameronians (SR) on 13th March 1943. he completed 3 years in Burma and was repatriated late 1945.
He never discussed any of his war time activities with my self or any of my siblings and when he died in June 1998 I did not have any details which may help to fill in these blanks in his wartime activities. Now my grandchildren are asking what did he do during the war, and without the fine details it would be good to know what operations he may have been part of, and where his area of operations were, hence my request on this forum. It would also help me confirm what medals he would have been entitled to wear.
I have some photos which I would be happy to share, of him and unknown comrades in unknown locations. Any information about what these units he was with during the times noted would be most welcome , and who knows some of the unknown comrades me be recognised by their descendants.

Hi Malcolm

Feel free to post your photos as attachments in a reply to this message. Any problems just email them direct to me (click on email below). You have duplicated your message in another forum topic. This can lead to replies on different messages rather than all on one so I will delete your second post. We have a Pte . J King in the No.6 Commando nominal roll so I will update that soon with the details you have provided. If you post a photo of your Father I will add that to the gallery.

Are you able to take a photo at best resolution of the service record timeline of postings and send it to me. Try to get as much of the page in as possible.
