| Senior Member | You need his service number. Then you write off to the MoD for his service history, if you're after a British Commando - which would be the case because only Britain had the Commando.

| It would be difficult to find a commando, as most of them where (and still are) sworn to secrecy |

| See if you can find out his unit or battallion Zerum No3, No4 commando etc and if he was army or marine commando also try searching under combined operations although its unlikely to mention specific names if you know his battallion it will narrow your search a heck of a lot. |

| Senior Member | Zerum, I know a book that will help you with learning about an American Commando in the OSS. Get the Book Shadow Warriors, by Tom Clancy. There is an interesting story about three americans dropped into occupied France with French troops of the SAS who trained French militias to rebel against the Germans.
