I have found a few words written by my father which I would like to add to the site regarding RSM Alan Moss who was killed in action on Operation Chariot, the raid on St Nazaire. 28th/29th March 1942. Against a photo of him my father wrote
RSM Alan Moss 2 Commando "The Best"
The photo is not the best quality so I have attached one here that we already have
In another type written document listing the names of the Liverpool Scots who were in No.4 Ind. Coy. and who later joined 5 troop No.2 Cdo, against the name of Alan Moss, my father adds
4 Ind. Coy in Norway;became the first RSM of 2 Commando;was killed at St nazaire and would most certainly have been highly decorated if he had lived. MiD St Nazaire.
I hope one day one of his relatives may check the site and see how much respect my father had for him.
In Memory of Warrant Officer Class 1, 2930992 ALAN MOSS
Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders and No. 2 Commando
who died on 29 March 1942 at St Nazaire age 32
Remembered with honour at ESCOUBLAC-LA-BAULE WAR CEMETERY
We will remember them
