BEASLEY, Frederick
Son of Frederick and Matilda Beasley, of Salford, Lancashire.
Operations included Bardia 19th April 1941 and Crete in May/June 1941. Ordered to assist in the evacuation of British Troops from the island of Crete against overwhelming odds many of the commandos were killed, wounded, or captured by the German invasion force.
After this the Commando was disbanded.

Gunner John Challis died in the UK as the result of an accident. Son of John George and Hannah Challis, of Bridport.
Casualty Lists / National Archives file WO417/25.
Private William Green was reported missing presumed died died during the period No 7 Commando, as part of Layforce, were engaged in a rearguard action whilst allied troops were evacuated from Crete. He has no known grave. Son of Harry and Anne Elizabeth Green, of March, Cambridgeshire.
Private Harry Paternoster died at the 13th General Hospital, Suez, as a result of heatstroke. Son of Herbert and Jeannie Paternoster, of Burgh, Suffolk.
Corporal George Sheridan was reported missing 2 June 1941 during operations at Crete. In 1945 this was corrected to killed in action between the dates shown above. Son of Patrick and Elizabeth Sheridan, of Fratton, Portsmouth.
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 & research purposes, we have tried to compile the names of all No.7 Commando volunteers which were obtained from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Lists of Casualties, the No7 Commando War Diary, 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.
Note: Where a service number is shown on our nominal rolls and no source is shown in the end column, it should be treated as possible but not confirmed. Contact the Archive if you suspect an error.
