Tony joined the Commandos in 1943 from the Cameron Highlanders. He fought with No 4 in Walcheren and was involved in the liberation of Brussels. He broke his ankle whilst training for D-Day and could not therefore take part. He was always immensely proud to be a Commando. GM

Officer at the ready
Hi Guys.
Anyone know who this officer is at the front?
I believe it is H.W. Wright!! (( Known as Bill )) If so then this would be 3 Commando or it could be 8 Commando.
