Notes
*Mne. Worsley states on his liberation report that he was captured at Cherboug. 45RM were not in this area but his son Steve notes that Cabourg was in their area of operations so possibly a spelling mistake. His photo appears in 45RM Commando 'E' Troop which has disputed dates of when the image was taken.

nb. There are some additional photos of his time in Hong Kong which are now in the 45 Commando post WW2 gallery.]]> en-us Gallery 2 RSS Module, version 1.1.8 Thu, 04 Jun 2026 08:12:53 +0100 120 https://gallery.commandoveterans.org/cdoGallery/d/42648-4/Worsley.jpg https://gallery.commandoveterans.org/cdoGallery/v/units/Royal+Marine+Commando+Units/45+RM+Commando/Worsley/ https://gallery.commandoveterans.org/cdoGallery/v/units/Royal+Marine+Commando+Units/45+RM+Commando/Worsley/Stan+Worsley+45RM.jpeg.html https://gallery.commandoveterans.org/cdoGallery/v/units/Royal+Marine+Commando+Units/45+RM+Commando/Worsley/Stan+Worsley+45RM.jpeg.html

Steve adds "My Dad Stan Worsley, was in 45 RM Commando 'E Troop was part of 1st Special Service Brigade at Queen Red Beach, was captured couple of days after Normandy Landings and according to his records he escaped in April 1945. his mum received a letter saying he was MIA and she had a massive stroke after the news. she was confined to a wheelchair after that and my Dad told me he would have stayed in the Marines if his mum wasn't so ill so he got out in July 1946 to look after his mum. would love to have spoken more about his time in the Marines as I am ex forces RCT and my dads nephew who worshipped my dad managed to get into 22 SAS. Ive got a picture of my dad in Singapore don't know the date. my dad died age 76. he was a top bloke."
