44RM Commando Nominal Roll
For historical & research purposes, we have tried to compile the names of all who served in No. 44 Royal Marine Commando obtained from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Lists of Casualties, the No. 44 Royal Marine Commando War Diary Jan to Dec 1945 (NA ref ADM/202/96), papers from the National Archives and further research by members of the CVA and various other resources. In preparing this list, we acknowledge that it is very likely there are omissions, Therefore, this is not a definitive list by any means, nor is it meant to be an official list, but it is the best we can do in an attempt to record all ranks by name who were part of No. 44 Royal Marine Commando. Research continues.
In the absence of any detail on our website, If you wish a name added to this Nominal Roll, you must first provide to us evidence that establishes Commando service. Not all Royal Marines were Commando trained in WW2. Methods of establishing such service can be varied from service records, official letter or other document where it is mentioned, a photo showing commando insignia, books, etc. Anecdotal evidence is not sufficient.
