| Message | My father was RSM in 1956 at Suez. My book on his wartime service in 2SAS is now out and its title is SAS Operation Pistol. In 1982 my father (ex RSM John Alcock 3 Para) and I re-visited his operational area in Alsace Lorraine. We saw together the small cottage near the woods where the Germans had him and his men bottled up - he got the better of them and killed around six of his enemy. This action is described in the book - quite different from his SAS official report I might add. Graham Alcock |

| Message | Hello I am posting this message on behalf of my Father Duncan Audemard who is 94 years old with Dementia. Dad served with 3 para and I have a picture of him that i am using to make a memory board for him. He tells me he served in 1947 at 18 year old and his service number was 21048819, however I can find no record of him online. Has he got his service number wrong or can someone point me in the right direction to update his details Kind regards Grant ( son) |

| Message | My father was RSM 3 Para at Suez in 1956 and I was then ten years old and living at Aldershot in D block Corunna barracks opposite the drill hall. I am writing a book about his time in the 2 SAS during WW2. He and I visited his operational area in 1982 together and met French farmers who had hidden him and his men when on this mission. It was called operation Pistol and was held in September 1944. dad blew up a small troop train and killed several of the enemy (around 6 in total) in hand-to-hand combat when they tried to capture him. They had trapped him within a cottage. He was very proud to have been part of 3 Para and I have several photographs of the Suez operation from 1956. I first saw these in 1956 and I have seen these at the Museum when it was at Aldershot. Dad won the Croix de Guerre at Silver star level - one of 11 such medals won by 2 SAS in WW2. He identified himself as the soldier putting on his beret at Suez as Colonel Crook walks away - you can just make out his moustache in the image -yet others claim it as being their own father and have even made a web page illustrating it as such. I have the set of Major Norman photographs here at home and first came across them in 1958. The imperial war museum recognises the soldier as being my father. Graham Alcock |
