Ivor Swain was the Sergeant Clerk of V111 Alma Commando Battery, 29 Commando RA. He was killed when his Land Rover patrol was called out to investigate a reported incident. They drove into a blacked out articulated lorry which had been parked across the road with a white stripe painted up the side so that it looked like the road itself. [Source: James Walton]
