Photo 48RM X Troop
Top row, 2nd from right. 13 the from left. My grandfather Reg King. Does anyone have any more information as he isn't with us anymore and when he was here wouldn't tell us Grandchildren about what he went through. We found this photo a few months back, ran it through face recognition and it matched my Grandfather. I have his medals and got some information, but would love to know more.

The “X” Troop Insignia on the board held centrally shows a Skull and Crossbones with the letter SS in each eye socket. That symbol was given a whole new meaning by the German SS. It was changed to a picture of a Disney’s’ Pluto wearing a Green Beret and a Fairbairn & Sykes Commando Fighting knife clenched in its jaws. The original Artist attended a Re-Union of 45 Commando RM at RM Condor and made a Presentation of this to “X” Company who have since adopted it as their emblem. I will attach a copy soonest.

Reginald King was my great uncle. If anyone could tell me how to contact Andy Evetts I would love to talk to him about Reg. Much appreciated
