    Hi All

    My father was a Royal Marine Commando during WWII,serving in the 1/42nd.
    I have some photographs of him in various places and some of his documents and Commando regalia. I have an interesting picture of a carved piece of leather with all the names of his troop. I would love to know if anyone has more information or is interested in anything I have.
