[QUOTE="geronimo, post: 42469, member: 392"] hi as far as tanks goes its a wide possibility with them just off the bat but the most likely two candidates are either a Cromwell tank or a Sherman ( possibly one of the variations of the Sherman). I find it strange a commando would be part of a tank crew so there could be more to that story. there is a book called commando country that tells of all the commando training up in Scotland, it can be bought from amazon. also if you know his regiment just googleing it with d-day might come up with something, either that or do the same for an amazon search and you might find a book or two covering their time in Normandy. if its the 7th then its likely he was killed during the drive for caen, they were held by the Germans on the 7th I believe about 3-5 miles outside caen. hope that helps If I have a quick look and see what I can come up with I will add to this phil [/QUOTE]
