Hello all. I would like to thank Pete Rodgers and all at the CVA for their work in having Ken Young of 9 commando name placed beneath the Commando memorial at the National memorial Arboretum , Alrewas. I cant tell you how proud we are to have seen his name with such great men. Im sure he would be be honoured to be next to his fellow Commandos. I wonder if Pete could contact me if possible. Have an idea.

Hello Nick. As Pete has mentioned Ken Young spoke about Frank Walsh. I was fortunate to of known Ken for the past eleven years and just before he passed away he told me one thing he wondered about was what become of Frank. I posted a message on the forum over a year ago for Ken but had no reply. It would be great if you could tell us about frank. Ken spoke highly of him. Regards Marc.
