None of the six entries in Commando Association newsletters from 1949 until his death, that have a mention of him, including the Obituaries entry, show M.C. against his name. Sources: Newsletters 9, 45, 66, 67, 71, 89 (Obituary entry).

Lieut Norman (Monty) Banks
This is my father after volunteering. We have some lovely family stories of them being “mobilised “ with bicycles. Having to make their own way up to Troon (he borrowed a car) He went on the Lofoten Islands raid . His escape map silk neckscarf which was given for the raid, if it went wrong...is now framed and displayed with his medals in the Fort William Commando museum. He then went back to The Tank Corp.

Thank you Margaret but Alfred Phillips was an NCO, and that man in the front row is an officer. He is now identified as Captain Alan Milne.
