Brand new to this website as I?m looking for anymore information on TSM James Sykes Lees (relative of mine), in addition to what?s on the website about him. He was given the military medal and was part of 41 commando before he died on the 4th of June 1945 in a keep accident. A source on his profile was a book called ?They Did What Was Asked Of Them" by author Raymond Mitchell but I currently don?t have the book. Anyone able to see what?s in the book about him? Any help would be appreciated, thanks
