My late father
After searching many photographs of No 4 Commando, I have finally found a photograph of my late father Gnr John "Tommy" Rogan.
He is stood in row 2 (first standing row) immediately behind and between the two seated officers. He has a big smile and wearing the RA cap badge.
Now I know he was in E Troop, hopefully I'll be able to find more photographs of him.
He was seriously wounded at Ranville (Pegasus Bridge) on D Day, which ended his military career.

Joseph Pasquale
My husband is Joseph's 1st cousin: Joseph was the son of Joseph Pasquale (Snr) and Winifred (nee Tunney) of Liverpool. He was born in 1919, and married Jean Marion Lucille (nee Carter) in Lewes, Sussex in 1943. Joseph is commemorated on the family headstone in Ford Cemetery, Liverpool. The inscription on his headstone in Hermanville War Cemetery reads: "Sweet and treasured memory of my darling husband who gave his life on D-Day".
