Hi
My Father, Gwynne Tucker, was a member of the Forward Observation Bombardment (FOB) during the 2nd World War. He was a Telegraphist and I believe he landed twice on D Day, once on Sword Beach and, I believe, once on Gold Beach. I realise this is a long shot but I'm wondering whether anyone can identify the above chaps please? Thanks in anticipation.
Lynne

These tablets should not be used in confined spaces as the fumes are not safe. In Norway Troops cook using a stove and lead-free petrol for the same sort of reason.

Both the leading Troopers have their ‘Commando’ shoulder title stitched high on the right sleeve so that the epaulette can be seen. There is no room for any other badge above that single ‘flash’ they can only be Army Commandos.
