I'm hoping to make contact with anyone who may have known my father during the war.He was with no 8 Commando then B Battalion Layforce, the Middle East Commando and finally B Squadron 1st SAS which he joined in September 1942. During the next 4 months he took part in a number of desert raids which saw most of his comrades killed.In early 1943 he was training in Palestine before embarking from Suez for Sicily in July of that year as part of the SRS. He fought at Augusta and Termoli where he won the MM.In 1944 he was parachuted into France on operation Haggard at the end of which he was hositalised.
If anyone knew my father or has any information on him or photographs of his units I should be extremely grateful.
