Reverend Captain Clifford Pritchard
Padre in No 3 Cdo & 1 Special Service/Commando Brigade. Photo courtesy of his son David Pritchard who adds "My father died in 1962 of a sudden heart attack leaving a widow and four young children. He never spoke of his time with 3 Commando and my mother many years later said that he had a bad time suffering from what we now call PTSS. Despite being brought up in a strict non conformist household in North Wales and pursuing a career in the church, after 1945 he never entered a church again".
Our thanks to David for sharing the above information. There are other photos of Capt Pritchard in our 1 Special Service Bde album. Follow this link to view one of them Captain Pritchard
