Sgt Denis Charles Fuller, No.2 Commando

Served in the ranks of No 2 Commando 6 troop until commissioned in 1942.

Photos courtesy of his son Michael Fuller who adds the following - The Norway ops were Scissors Force and Vaagso. In Egypt he was training at Kabret but I can find little on that. It looks a massive establishment where forces were trained. He then went to Italy with 1/6 East Surreys and went up through Cassino before getting a serious head wound near Arezzo. After a period in hospital in Naples and then convalescence, he rejoined East Surreys and went with them to Greece until the end of the war. I understood he also served in Palestine.
