Mike,
Have you been able to find any other London Gazette entries for Alan Harry Augustus EMERY apart from his initial commissioning in 1940? I have tried but so far without success. This is odd given his subsequent promotion(s) and that he was apparently married/divorced in 1964.

I wonder if his "Special Service/Employment" was of a classified nature - not with the Commandos but perhaps with SOE or MI6 etc. this might explain the dearth of published information?

Tim
