No 2 Commando - They Also Served PDF 

In 1946 the Army Council decided that the Army Commandos were to be disbanded and no provision was allowed or made for any depository or office which would have at least contained a complete Roster of Names of the men who served in the various units. For historical purposes we have amalgamated all names of the No. 2 Commando volunteers which were obtained from the memory of the author, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Lists of Casualties, the No. 2 Commando War Diary and papers from the National Archives.

In preparing this List, we acknowledge that there are quite possibly omissions, but it is the best we can do in an attempt to record all ranks by name who were part of No. 2 Commando.

Everyone deserves to be remembered!
