[QUOTE="Sue, post: 42467, member: 1419"] Hi, I am trying to find out information about my uncle. Surname: Underwood Forename: Lionel Harold Unit: 3 Commando Rank: Lance Corporal Number: 5956944 Date Of Death: 7th June 1944 KIA Normandy Dad told me he was killed when his tank was blown up. Would anyone know what sort of tank he would have been in please? Would there maybe any groups photos around that anyone knows about? Apparently a year or two before my uncle was killed he was in Scotland doing Commando exercises? up and down cliffs and stuff like that. The only reason we know is that a girl from his home town happened to be in Scotland at the time and saw and recognised him and it was a srprise to both of them. However, I don't know where or when. He went to the Commandos from the Beds & Herts Regiment. A few years ago the newsagent was selling a series on soldiers. The first one was a commando from the 6th Commandos and there was a little figurine to go with the magazine. I assume the uniform would be the same, just the patches would be different. They are now bringing out a series on tanks, and I thought it would be nice to have a tank to go with the figure. Can anyone help me please. Thanks. Sue Given Australia [/QUOTE]
