Sgt Bob (Robert) 'Tiny' Struthers 2621957 6 Commando 101 Troop

I am seeking information regarding my late Granddad and his time with the Commandos, any help would be extremely appreciated, Kind Regards Danny

Hi Danny,

You've probably come across the 6 Commando website but in case you haven't there's a link to your Grandfather as serving and a few more details. Good luck in your search.

Hello Danny,
In the gallery of photos of N°6 Commando there is a panorama view taken in July 1943.
As far as I know your Grandfather is right in the middle : 4th row up from the bottom the first line of men standing : 17th from the Left hand side : you can see his Sgts stripes.

There is a web site where you can read the war diaries for D-Day which you should find interesting. Its found under "war diaries", then "1st Special Service Brigade", then select N°6 Commando

Sorry but I don't have any further information, but I hope that this helps.

I have added some photos Danny had sent in from his Grandfather's collection. They can be seen on Pages 1 and 2 of the No.6 Commando gallery, and the In Remembrance album there. There are several photos of Commandos who were later killed in action:
