Kevin Berriman Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Reading my Cousin [Fred Everett NX129380] diary he wrote about an opperation he was involved in where they were required to jump out of a flying aircraft [by Yanks] pushing their gear out then jumping, regaining their gear & feet clearing off the Japs far enough to alow our planes to land to bring in re-inforcements & gear.This would have been a very dareing engagement & heroic, I have not seen any referience any-where or found anyone who can give me any information on this engagement, it should be well written about & well known, can anyone help me on this subject?

Committee Peter Epps Posted March 30, 2017 Committee Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hi Kevin We don't have Fred Everett NX129380, on our nominal roll. I have checked his service papers and he joined 2 / 6 Independent Company on 30 Sept 1943, transferred out to 2 / 3 Commando on 21 Sept 44. He embarked for Morotai on 22 Jun 1945 and sadly killed in action on 7 Jul 1945. I agree with you that it was a daring and courageous adventure but we have no knowledge of the action. I do know there is a 2 / 3 Commando unit history, you may have to look it up in that publication. Sorry not to be of more help.
