Default C Troop No4 Commando (Scotland, Dieppe, D-Day)

Hi Gents,

I have just had a wonderful Wilkinson First Pattern F-S Knife come in for sale. The exciting thing (at least to me) is that it belonged to a member of C Troop No4 Commando. More than that, it actually has an incredible collection of historic photographs that he made notes on to the rear. Everything from his training in Scotland to the Dieppe raid and D-Day, really quite astonishing.

Anyway I thought I would share just a few images for interest.

Cheerio,

Roy

You're most welcome.

Can't tell you how excited I was when I started to look through this group. Really wonderful it has survived.

Cheerio,

Roy
