Hi , yes I don't believe this is my Bourne. He was a Commando and went ashore and brought back a Luftwaffe helmet

Good Afternoon all,

I am tracing a chap surname of Bourne was on a raid to France to knock out a signal /radar station , from my limited research i have found two possible operations

Op Bristle June 3rd 1942 No 6 Commando

Op Barricade August 15th 1942 No 62 Commando

The account i have been told is that Bourne had attacked an anti aircraft battery

Bourne survived the war and returned home to Hove , Sussex living at Ingram Crescent.

He was active as a veteran up until his death , believed to have passed away in late sixties ?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks
