No.2 Commando. As a Corporal Ron took part in the St Nazaire raid sailing on board ML 447. Became RQMS of No.2. Photo courtesy of Stephen McAllister, son of TSM Ken McAllister 5 troop No.2 Cdo.
nb. I have also seen the surname spelt Crippen presumably taken from the LG entry re his award. This entry was later corrected to the spelling as shown here in LG.
