I am trying to find more information about my father, who was a Royal Naval Beach Cdo.

I know he belonged to Force J on Juno beach on 6th June. His Commanding Officer was Captain Colin Maud. I know, also, that his mates, at that time, were Bill Bailey, Bungy Williams, and Jimmy Ridley.

He was a Leading Hand at that time. From the records I have, he joined HMS Dundonald in 1942. He was promoted temp. Sub Lieutenant in Dec. '44.

He was stationed at HMS Chinthe, Rangoon in March '45.

The records I have indicate his shore bases, not which operations he may have taken part, except D-Day.

Any further information, gratefully received.

He passed in 1966.

Unfortunately I have no information about your Father. Have you tried this site yet :

http://www.relaysystem.co.uk/id3.html
Pete Rogers, son of LSgt Joe Rogers MM & nephew of TSM Ken McAllister. Both No2 Commando.
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.

**** nb. I no longer monitor the pm facility ****
