No.46 identified as Philip J. Creswick
Nesta Rees identifies her Uncle - Philip J Creswick aka Cressy. Nesta adds "He was wounded on the 8th June 1944 and he was left in a farm by some of his brother troopers. They later "found" a Jeep and returned to the farm. They then returned him to the beach. He died of a heart attack 29th January, 1978. He was a smashing Uncle and I miss him still"

Terrance Kealy (Keeley) No 4 Cdo.
Hello
I am told that Terrance Kealy (often referred to as Rifleman Keeley)was in No 4 Cdo. in WW2. He joined from the KRRC (King's Royal Rifle Corps). Is this true ? I would like to know, as I am a relative.
After the war, he was a Policeman for 29 or so years.
Could anybody tell me whether Terrance is in this photograph. he died age 89 in February 2012 in Thetford.
I would be interested for any information on his involvement in No.4 Cdo.
