We never got to know each other as sadly you passed away in 1954, I was 4 months old. Back in those days very little was spoken about the war, but my Gran your Mum used to always speak of you. I know that you took part in raids and in action around Flushing, at some point you were sheltered by a Dutch family for some time, before you made it back home. I have many photographs one of which is, I believe in Germany with "6 Commando" written on the back Thank you Dad, and to all who served.
