I first began searching in 2010 with not much luck and shamefully allowed my interest to wane due to the fact I had purchased his Army record. I now intend to follow up the 4 books I have written since retirement in 2015 with my dad's life story. He was posted to 12 Commando in November 1941 from 7th Btn 09/10/1940 if I understand what is written in his Statement of the Services, then onto 12 Commando 14/11/1941.

Hi
We do not have your father listed at the moment so can I ask you to either send me by email (see email button below my name) the scans of the documents/photos you now have showing his Commando service or should you prefer post them here as attachments. Then I can add a fitting tribute to your Father.
