The commando at position 110 is my late father Tommy Rogan, he was proud to be a member of No 4 Commando. He was severely injured by a mortar shell, after the D-day landing on 6th June and took no further part in WWII, having lost the use of his right arm. He was also veteran of Dunkirk.
He hailed from and spent all his life in Hartlepool. He passed away in 1988.

Christina Findell advises " I believe 280 is my late Father Gordon Wallace Carlyle who served under Lord Lovat and was at the Lofoten Islands and Pegasus Bridge. He always spoke very proudly of his service in No. 4 Commando, and I know it was a great honour for him to do so. He later became Major Carlyle. He is greatly missed as a loving and wonderful Father"
^Admin....280 now identified as Leslie George Woodward. Christina please contact the archive
