Thanks for that ....... have already contacted the museum but they say everything is at the NA ..... was just hunting around to see if anything was a bit more accessible.

Could anyone help please .... Are archives kept anywhere for public viewing.

Looking to view archives, war diaries, any documentation etc relating to 44 Commando.

David Sharpe (researching grandfather Ernest Charles Webb).

Researching my grandfather - Ernest Charles Webb b:3/1/1914 d:27/7/1995. Know very little of his sevice history other than he was a "Royal Marine Commando" and served in Burma. Have received his service record but gives little detail:
Lympstone 25/5/43 - 26/7/43
RM TG (D) 27/7/43 - 6/10/43
RM / Cmdo 7/10/43 - 27/3/46
Ports Div 28/3/46 - 9/6/46

Is there any way of taking this further - his unit / deployment history etc? Only have his photo in uniform (with RM cap badge) and his original service kit bag stamped with his name and number.

Would be gratefull for any assistance/direction.
