Notes
CWGC do not show any commando attachment. However both Casualty List entries show 'att. Commando". The original Commando Associaion, formed in 1943 at the Commando Depot, Achnacarry, enrolled members immediately after they passed their course. Trooper E. Kenney, Brigade Signal Troop, from Brighton is named in a list they produced in 1973 of members they were seeking to find - Lost Legion List 7.
