Paul,
Very many thanks - that's a remarkable site with a great deal of useful information.
I'll share it with my French co-author - who wishes to thank you too.
We are very grateful.
Mike

Tony,
My co-author for a Militaria magazine article on 1944 Beach Groups;

If possible a scan or photo of pages 45, 46, 58 and 62 please.

We would be very grateful (and you'll get a mention in the article). Fame in France!

No worries, as soon as I finish this set of shifts (Thursday) I'll get them scanned.

I hope you do not mind me intervening but my copy (1983 edition) was easily to hand - scans sent to your email address Mike. Please confirm they are what you seek.
Regards
Mike

Hi Mike,

The relay system website above is run by Griff Turton, son of N commando Commanding officer Tom Turton, It is indeed rammed full of good info.

May i inquire into the book you are writing? I am always interested in RN commandos and finding out more information and photos. My granddad was in the RN commandos.
