World War Two / 45 Royal Marine Commando
« on: Wednesday 24 October 12 17:00 BST (UK)  »
Could anyone please tell me how I can find out which troop of The  45 Commandoes my late Father was in ?.
He served in The Marines from april 1940 till March 1943, then the 45 Commandoes till August 1945
I have his service record but it does not tell me the troop.

I have just received this reply from Mr Cotrell


Sadly I am unable to help you.
 
The Company of Watermen and Lightermen only looked after and apprenticed lads on the River Thames. On other rivers such as the Tyne the boys were taught by their families.
 
Regards,
 
Rob Cottrell.


Back to square 1 for me   :(

Thankyou Nort. :-*

That IS the same William King.

It's his Father Thomas that I'm looking for.

I've just looked at the marriage certificate again, Father's name clearly states Thomas KING.

I really don't know where to go from here  :'(, but I thank you for your help  :-*

Ambly.

Are you saying Thomas Harrison could be Williams Father?, I'm confused  :(

If that's the case then why would he be called William King?  :o
