Les whelan
Hi Peter, Leslie wheelan was grandfather, my mum's dad. He died when I was 2 years old so I never really got to know him. So if you have any further photos of him or any stories about his time in the troop or as POW then I would love to hear them. My mother is also very excited to have found this image and would also be grateful for any further information.
Thank you
Nina

Photo updated with correct spelling for CHALLINTON
CHALLINGTON amended to read correctly as CHALLINTON. Confirmed by family

2 Commando 1941 Photo
Might #10 be my father George Ernest Haines. Awarded DCM for actions in St Nazaire raid. His name is missing from list and the picture looks somewhat like him,,,and my own son.

2 Commando 1941 Photo
Further to the comment posted by my brother, Nicholas Haines, on December 30th, I agree that #10 in the photograph bears a striking resemblance to our father, TSM George Ernest Haines. The family resemblance to him is seen in both Nicholas and his son. Should you require any further information to ascertain whether this is, in fact, George Haines, please let us know exactly what you need and we will endeavour to provide it. Sarah Wale (nee Haines)

John Stewart
John Stewart (24) was my dad's cousin (his dad's sister's son). Dad often talked about him and how he got killed in Italy. He used to tell me that John's dad was Canadian. I am waiting for the 1921 census to come out to find out if that was so. Great site and a really fitting tribute to those who served to preserve our freedom.

Thanks Neil
Thanks for your comments Neil. We have quite a few other photos of John Stewart in the No.2 Commando gallery. He was in the same troop as my father.
