SEEKING INFORMATION ON 2/2 MEN WHO WENT ON TO SERVE AFTER WWII

[Edward Willis]

Former 2/2 Commando Association President and current Committee member Peter Epps has devoted many years to developing and maintaining the popular “Men of the 2/2” database on the Doublereds website (https://doublereds.org.au/history/men-of-the-22/).

To assist in completing the database, Peter is seeking information on 37 2/2 men who went on to serve after WWII and whose digitised service records are not available on the National Archives of Australia website.

He has compiled the attached list of these men and would be grateful if any members or supporters who have obtained the service records of any individual man listed would be willing to make information in them available to the Association.

Peter advises: “The families can redact any info they do not wish to be common knowledge as all we are interested in is their military service with the Unit up to the end of hostilities and whatever military info is available after; i.e., promotions, unit changes, awards etc.”

Anyone who assist with this task is requested to reply to this post and Peter will respond directly to them and follow up as required.

Thank you in anticipation.

Ed Willis

Vice-President, 2/2 Commando Association of Australia
