The commando who is third from the left in the back row is my uncle, Pvt. Lewis John Jones, who was injured on D Day but when healed returned for three more missions and for occupation in Holland. We have his Eisenhower's pre D Day letter to the troops, and my Uncle has signatures of all his commando buddies on the back and front margin of the letter. We also have a larger picture of his No. 4 unit, his will that all had to sign before leaving, the telegram sent to his mother about his injury, and his release paper. We also have his commando beret with badges.

SGT Mercer is my Great Grandfather and my Father always tells me amazing stories about him. I was curious and decided to come onto this website to try and find some pictures of him as unfortunately we do not have any. I am so happy that I have finally found one and I am so thankful to the person who uploaded this. Please, if anybody knows of any other pictures of him anywhere could they comment back to me to let me know. Charisse.
