Part of a letter to his brother by Cpl Roy Montague Smith 43RM Cdo who was later killed in action
Describing the death and injuries of his fellow Commandos, and how they raised money for the family of one of them. Cpl Smith was himself killed in action on the 13th April 1945. Courtesy of Cpl. Smith's nephew Roy Smith. Posted by Pete R.
I believe the Bailly referred to in the letter may in fact be Marine Archibald Baillie who was killed in action at Solta.
In Memory of CH/X 110260 Marine Archibald Baillie
43RM Commando, Royal Marines,
who died on the 25th September 1944 aged 21
Remembered with honour at Belgrade War Cemetery
