No1 Commando panorama photo No 327 and 335
*** Photo updated.Register and post a message on our Forum if you have any relevant photos***No 327 is my late father James Henry Davies. At the conclusion of the war he was a Major serving in Burma/Malaya.
I can also identify No 335 as his younger brother, Alan J. Davies who also served in Burma/Malaya, ending the war as a Captain.

The location of this photo is that of the Drop Redoubt fort at the Western Heights at Dover, and not Dover Castle as labelled. 'C' Troop are sitting on the edge of the 1860s sidearms store on the terreplein. No.4 Commando were stationed at the fort for the five nights of the raid.

Hi Ron,
This is Quentine, my married name is Green. I have left my e-mail address with Pete Rogers for you to contact me. I have a few years to fill you in on so please contact me. I showed the landing craft picture to Mum and the physical details are certainly correct and the rank is correct. I also have a few war time pictures to add for your interest.
I look forward to speaking to you.
Regards
Quentine
