[QUOTE="asquith, post: 42403, member: 1232"] Hi everyone on this great site.On having learned that My father william Asquith No6 commando, was on at least several occasions wounded in action - documented in his service book- I have as yet not determined as to why this unit, No6 Commando, was started or why it was formed. My father was seriously wounded in an action on Salerno , Italy, to such a degree that he was in hospital for at least two years ,( in an Italian hospital)due to severe head wounds caused by a german 'S' mine. Would there be records of this injury in places other than his service record as I have yet to recieve this document from MoD. Also , there was a Newspaper article in a newspaper around 1947 that detailed my fathers war service with picture along with others , as a book was being researched called the 'Green Beret' by H G Saunders.Does anyone know of this Newspaper article as I don't know the edition or name of the newspaper in question. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
