Joe adds "I served with No 1 Commando in India and Hong Kong until the Army Commandos were disbanded in 1947 I was one of the younger end to serve. I am 91. I think there are not many wartime Commandos left I was only 18 when I did my training in Scotland. I was one of a group who took 800 Japs back to Japan on a liberty ship."
