Photo, taken in Ayr, and information, courtesy of his son Graham Robinson who adds "My father Sgt Tim Robinson took part in Operation Basalt, a raid on the Island of Sark, in October 1942. He served in E Troop 12 Commando, SSRF and subsequently in 2nd SAS. I would be interested to make contact with anyone (or a relation) who served with my father and particularly whether anyone is aware of a Gunner Redborn (or Redbourn) who gives a very detailed account of Operation Basalt which is reproduced in most books about the raid. My father also took part in Operation Chess (with E Troop July 1941 France), Anklet (with E Troop December 1941 Lofoten Islands), Speedwell (with 2nd SAS September 1943 Italy) and Wallace (with 2nd SAS August 1944 France)."
