Aside from the HQ troop, the No 10 Commando Roll of Honour is listed in troop order. Click on the highlighted troops or names for full details. This is a work in progress and we hope to provide more information soon.
No 6 Troop
No 7 Troop
Source: The late Ron Youngman, former Secretary of the original Commando Association that stood down in 2005. He wrote the paragraph above in Volume One of his privately published book 'They Performed Whatsoever Their King Demanded'. Sadly Ron died before completing further volumes.
On the 26th June 1942 the War Office gave approval for the formation of a Headquarters Troop for the new Inter Allied Commando.
In 1946 the Army Council decided that the Army Commandos were to be disbanded and no provision was allowed or made for any depository or office which would have at least contained a complete Roster of Names of the men who served in the various units.
For historical & research purposes, we have tried to compile the names of all No.10 Commando volunteers which were obtained from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Lists of Casualties, the No.10 Commando War Diary, papers from the National Archives and further research by members of the CVA and various other resources. In preparing this list, we acknowledge that it is very likely there are omissions, Therefore, this is not a definitive list by any means, nor is it meant to be an official list, but it is the best we can do in an attempt to record all ranks by name who were part of No.10 Commando. Research continues.
It should be noted that many of the Commandos in 3 Troop were German speaking refugees of Jewish Faith. They and their families were at risk if captured, so they were given new identities to protect them.
The No 10 Commando Nominal Roll is listed below in surname order

SUBJECT: Losses of the 1st BFM Commando ATTACHMENTS: My notes No.121 and 122 FMC of 24th May 1945 I have the honour to send to you the attached notes, cited in reference to the deaths of our men in the course of operations. I take advantage of this opportunity to send to you below the list of the losses and disappearances that we have had since the creation of our unit, the main reason being to safeguard the interests of our men, killed or disappeared. 1. MEN DISAPPEARED ON OPERATIONS MOUTAILLER Serge, Second-Maitre canonnier (Petty Officer gunner) Mle 5822 FN41 Disappeared in the course of the raid on Dieppe on 18th August 1942, no news since that date. BELLAMY Robert, Quartier-Maitre 2nd class fusilier (Leading Rating rifleman) Mle 10033 FN40 DIGNAC André, Matelot Brevete fusilier (Able Seaman rifleman) Mle 6286 FN41 Disappeared on 24th December 1943 in the course of a raid on SARK(Channel Islands), grievously injured by an anti-personnel mine, not possible to evacuate, presumed killed. WALLERAND Pierre, Maitre fusilier (Petty Officer rifleman) Mle 267 FN43. Diappeared in the course of a raid on GRAVELINE on 24th-25th December 1943. Presumed drowned and buried at GRAVELINE TREPEL Charles, Mle 54454 Lt. de Vaisseau (Lieutenant) detached from the Army to FNGB HAGNERE Jean, Mle 10425 FN43 Second-Maitre fusilier (Petty Officer rifleman) GUY Rene, Mle 10320 FN40 Quartier-Maitre 2nd classe fusilier (Leading Rating rifleman) RIVIERE Jacquelin, Mle 10834 FN40 Quartier-Maitre 2nd classe fusilier (Leading Rating rifleman) DEVILLERS Fernand, Mle 540 FN43 Quartier-Maitre 2nd classe fusilier (Leading Rating rifleman) CABANELLA Roger, //339 FN43 Matelot Brevete (Leading Seaman) Team which disappeared in its entirety during the night of 27th-28th February 1944 on the coast of Holland, without leaving any trace. Research by the British authorities is without result up to the present time. GICQUEL Georges, Mle 4822 FN40 Matelot sans Specialite (Ordinary Seaman) Disappeared in the course of a patrol on 24th July 1944 at Breville (Calvados) This letter obviously represents the state of knowledge of the disappearance of these men at the time. The present view of these disappearances is as follows: MOUTAILLER Serge.- (name is also spelt MOUTAILLIER in some sources) The circumstances of his death are unclear. It is believed he was summarily executed on being taken prisoner on 19th August 1942 at Yellow 1 beach (Berneval) on account of his wearing French insignia (“bachi” naval cap, “France” shoulder patches, etc.) BELLAMY Robert, DIGNAC Andre: Information in letter is correct. Both were buried on Sark (DIGNAC later exhumed and reburied in France) WALLERAND Pierre: Information is correct. Drowned whilst attempting to swim out to a MTB after completing mission. TREPEL, HAGNERE, GUY, RIVIERE, DEVILLERS, CABANELLA: Their disappearance has never been fully elucidated. May have been executed on being taken prisoner. GICQUEL: Taken prisoner, tortured by the Germans, and left hanging from a tree.
48 Dutchmen from the Koninklijke Brigade "Prinses Irene" (Princess Irene Brigade), are sent to No’s 3, 4, 9 and 12 Commando for pre-commando training.
In May 1942 they attend the Commando Depot, Achnacarry, later renamed the Commando Basic Training Centre, for official Commando training. 25 of the original 48 pass the course.
Those who passed the Commando training move to Troon. There, 2 (Dutch) Troop was officially formed under command of T/Lt P.J. Mulders. At this time T/2Lt's., J. Linzel, M.J. Knottenbelt and C.J.L. Ruysch van Dugteren finished their officers training.
The Dutch Troop moved to Porthmadog (Port Madoc), a town in northern Wales, to join No 10 (Inter-Allied) Commando under the command of Lt Col D. Lister as No 2 (Dutch) Troop. Numerous members of the Princess Irene Brigade go through Achnacarry to strengthen the Troop.
Now based in Easbourne, the strength is five Officers, twelve NCO’s and 67 Other Ranks. Later that year the Troop is ordered to the Far East for action against the Japanese. Only five of them see action behind enemy lines in Arakan (Burma); some with No 44 Royal Marine Commando and some with No 5 Commando.
The Troop is complete again and is, on their own request, sent back to Europe. Shortly after its return, the Troop receives orders to prepare for action on the mainland of Europe.
Sunday the 17th of September 1944, the Troop goes into action in the largest airborne operation of the Second World War: Operation "Market Garden". 12 Dutch Commandos are attached to various units of the First British Airborne Division. Two of them have to make a crash landing with a glider in Noord-Brabant en Schouwen-Duiveland. Four Commandos, one of whom is wounded, are taken prisoner during the fighting in and around Arnhem. After two attempts three of them escape the POW camp near Dresden in Germany and manage to reach US lines near the Tjech border. One of the troop, August Bakhuis Roozeboom, is killed in action during a courageous attempt to reach the bridge at Arnhem with a jeep full of ammunition.
11 Dutch Commandos are attached to various units the 82nd (US) Airborne Division and three men are attached to the Headquarters of the First British Airborne Corps.
5 Dutch Commandos are attached to the 101st (US) Airborne Division, where they give, in the words of a Regimental Commander, “invaluable assistance during the fighting.”
Five Commandos who are attached to the 52nd (Lowland) Division, which is to fly to Deelen airfield, join the HQ of the 1st British Airborne Corps after the battle.
On the 11th of October 1944 the remnants of the Troop assemble in Eindhoven. They are given the choice of taking some well earned leave or take part in the oncoming operation. They choose the latter!
In the meantime four Commandos are active in the occupied part of Holland. They belong to a group of eight Commandos who, on orders of the Dutch “Bureau Bijzondere Opdrachten” (SOE), are to give instruction on skill at arms and sabotage in the occupied part of Holland and to coordinate the resistance movement.
Three Commandos are serving as instructors to the so called “Stoottroepen” (a newly formed Dutch Army unit) in the liberated part of Holland.
1st of November 1944 No 4 Commando lands with a French Troop and 11 Dutch Commandos in the spearhead. On the evening of 3 November and after heavy street fighting in which two Dutch Commandos are wounded and where they also act as scouts and fulfill various special tasks, contact is made with the Commandos who have landed at Westkapelle.
In the meantime men are recruited in the liberated South of Holland to go through the commando training in Scotland. Of the 107 recruits who leave for Achnacarry on the 19th of November 1944, 72 manage to gain the green beret.
They, together with other members of the Troop, are put into the line between Moerdijk and Geertruidenberg at the end of April 1945.
Besides the 4 Commandos who are already in action as secret agents, another 2 Commandos are parachuted into the Veluwe and Drenthe at the start of April 1945.
After the liberation the Troop is for some time tasked to guard German prisoners of war in Recklinghausen.
The Troop takes part in the Allied Liberation Parade in Amsterdam. Along both sides of the route from the Central Station, via the Rokin, the Dam and the Kalverstraat to the Museum Square, thousands of people line the streets, and give the Dutch Commandos a tremendous applause.
Part of the Troop leave for England, where the main part of the men follow courses with the Royal Marines in Deal, in which they are trained as instructors for the newly forming Dutch Army.
No 2 (Dutch) Troop is disbanded. Some are demobilized and resume their jobs in civilian life. Others are posted to the Stormschool Bloemendaal, a combat school to train soldiers for service in de Dutch East Indies. At the beginning of 1946 some twenty Commandos leave for the Dutch East Indies. Under their command and together with men from the Korps Insulinde (a Commando trained Dutch unit which operated from Ceylon against the Japanese), the Korps Speciale Troepen (Special Forces Regiment) and the School Opleiding Parachutisten (school for training paratroopers) is raised. They take part in many combat actions in the East Indies.
During the existence of No 2 (Dutch) Troop, four Commandos are killed in action and quite a few are wounded. Two are decorated with the highest gallantry medal, the Militaire Willemsorde, the equivalent of the Victoria Cross. Nine are decorated with the Bronzen Leeuw (Bronze Lion) and 27 with the Bronzen Kruis (Bronze Cross), all for gallantry in the face of the enemy.

I have been asked to speak about the German-speaking Commando unit of which I was a member, which was sometimes referred to as ‘X Troop’, but properly known as ‘No.3 Troop, 10 (I.A.) Commando’ - the I.A. standing for ‘Inter-Allied’. Number Sree Droop vas se Breedish Droop, mostly transferred from the Pioneer Corps for ‘special duties’.
We appreciated the trust reposed in us ‘enemy aliens’ to be allowed to join the Forces at all, at a time when this country was under considerable pressure and in great danger.
Whilst the 87th Company of the Pioneer Corps, in which I originally served, was stationed at Liverpool and then in Wales, a mysterious member by the name of Hartmann joined us, who spoke German with a distinctive Swiss intonation. He was vague about his background and did not explain how he came to be among us but probed our motivations and attitudes. Some of us with a German background were ordered to report at the Grand Central Hotel in London’s Marylebone Road, which was then a transit hub, and those of us who survived the vetting process were informed that we had been accepted for a Commando Troop of which Capt. (later Major) Brian Hilton-Jones was the Commanding Officer.
As a security measure we adopted English names and appointed reliable British friends to be our ‘next-of-kin’ and act as a ‘post office’, through whom we could maintain contact with those who had known us under our old names. We changed names and cap badges on our way to our base at Aberdovey. So Claus Leopold Octavio Ascher became Colin Edward Anson.
We were then put through a very demanding course of training at the Commando Training Depot at Achnacarry in the Scottish Highlands, designed not only to get us very fit but also, I suspect, to put off anyone whose heart was not really in it. We returned to our base at Aberdovey proudly wearing our new green berets! This training was continued in Wales by Capt. Hilton-Jones in a very well designed programme to keep us at a peak of fitness; even if the next period was just an intelligence lecture, we would first double up a mountain and do it on the top. Therewere five-mile jog-marches before breakfast, rock and cliff climbing, mountaineering in Snowdonia, abseiling, armed and unarmed combat. Only live ammunition was used. Our army boots had the rubber soles of the now familiar ‘Commando’ pattern instead of hobnails which allow silent movement and help in rock climbing. And so our Skipper fashioned us into a competent unit of increasingly professional soldiers.
Unlike other commando units, our troop was designed not to go into action as a unit but for small groups of us to be attached to other commando units for operations, to make ourselves useful as German speakers. So all of us have different stories to tell.
In my case, I was with the first small group to leave the Troop, to be attached to No. 40 RM Commando to take part in the invasion of Sicily. Members of Three Troop served in Sicily, Italy, in the Adriatic based on the island of Vis, in Albania and Greece, in Normandy, in Holland and finally Germany, the crossing of the Rhine, and in the Reichswald Forest.
Of our original eighty-six members, twenty were killed in action; most of us were wounded, including myself in Sicily - some more than once. We have with us tonight Ian Harris who was wounded three times, lost an eye and gained the Military Medal, and His Honour Judge Brian Grant who lost a leg in Italy, and so continued his legal studies, leading to a distinguished legal career. Among those killed during the D-Day landings was Max Laddie, who married a girl of Aberdovey. Their daughter is with us here today.
After joining ' A' Troop of No. 40 RM Cdo. I took part in boating and beach landing exercises. We embarked at Greenock in a convoy and only after some time at sea were we informed by Brigadier Laycock that we were on our way to the biggest landing operation yet undertaken: the invasion of Sicily. Having passed through the Straits of Gibraltar we were joined by more ships, growing into a vast armada. The weather turned very stormy. However, as we came into the lee of Cape Passero, the sea became as calm as a mill pond, a great wave of sub-tropical aroma rolled over us and the air was filled with the chirping of a thousand cicadas. During the night of 10 July we landed against ineffective opposition. We split into three columns, one group probing inland, the other two mopping up defenses along the coast. During the following days, we worked our way up the East coast, to Syracuse and then Augusta, the only opposition being from the Luftwaffe in the form of substantial air raids. But then there was a holdup at a tenaciously defended river bridge in the plain of Catania, providing a flat glacis overlooked by Mount Etna. We were embarked on a smart assault ship, the Queen Emma for a landing in the rear of the German positions to solve this problem. But it fell to us to lay a smoke screen covering the shipping in Augusta bay, but leaving us very visible. So the German Stukas concentrated on us and caused many casualties, including both the ship's and the Commando MO's killed.
I was not aware of having been wounded myself, by shrapnel, which penetrated my helmet. It is still there now, encapsulated in the inside rear of my skull. I had tried to help during that long night, but when the attacks eased off, I asked the medical sergeant whether he had any bandages left, as I seemed to have cut my head, but he looked very serious and told me to sit against a wall and not to move – which struck me as odd, as he had had to deal with really serious injuries all night. But then I started to feel faint, and boats came alongside to evacuate the wounded. I was left to the last, which again I found unsurprising as they had serious casualties to attend to. But afterwards I learned that my brain had been exposed and I had not been expected to survive the night. I was taken to No.151 Light Field Ambulance who had set up in an olive grove. I was put to bed between crisp white sheets, feeling enormously comfortable, but then must have passed out. When I woke up again it was the next day, they had performed quite a delicate brain operation fishing bone splinters from my brain, cleaning up the wound and stitching up the skin. I was wearing a Plaster-of-Paris helmet, and the marines trooped in to sign their names on it, and draw a Commando Dagger badge on the front!
I was first evacuated to Tripoli, and then flown to Cairo, where there was a specialised neurosurgical unit. I was downgraded to the B3 medical fitness category, and had to spend three soul-destroying months recovering in an Infantry Reinforcement Training Depot on the Suez Canal to make sure no infections or tumours had invaded my brain, before the hole in my head could be closed by means of a bone graft just before Christmas 1943, and I regained my A1 medical status.
I then re-joined what was now No.2 Central Mediterranean Commando Brigade, about to move to the Adriatic island of Vis. There we spent the summer of 1944, raiding German island garrisons and shipping. The most spectacular action in which I was involved was a raid on the island of Brač in conjunction with the Partisans. The aim was to make as much dust and noise as possible, to divert the Germans away from a hunt for Marshall Tito, then hiding in a cave system at Drvar. We stayed as long as possible, with the SS Panzer Division Prinz Eugen heading towards us, and hoped the action may have helped in Tito's escape. I then saw action in Albania and the liberation of Corfu. Finally, we were sent to Northern Italy to take part in the last actions of the war in that theatre.
When the war ended, the Army Commandos were dissolved and I was attached to the Control Commission for Germany and posted to Frankfurt, to join an interesting unit called FIAT, which stands for Field Intelligence Agency, Technical. Part of my work was to translate records of industrial, medical, and scientific developments during the war years. There were also weeks in Berlin, translating parts of the records of the Ministry of Weapons and Equipment under Albert Speer. It also enabled me to find my mother, who had survived the war in Frankfurt, and to start proceedings for bringing her over to England. After I had married Alice, originally from Vienna - who had served in the WAAF for four years - she was able to see her grandchildren grow up.
How did it feel to return to Germany? To walk these particular streets, with the ghost of a German schoolboy walking ahead, with whom I had absolutely nothing in common any more, was an almost schizophrenic psychological stress. To feel that I had to get back to my own people in the Sergeant's Mess showed me how much I had changed.
In an unexpected twist of fate, a few years ago Alice and I were traveling by train through Austria and were joined in the carriage by an Austrian man and his grandson. They were talking about the war, and we joined in and started to talk about our wartime adventures. Ironically, this man turned out to be one of the Stuka pilots who had attacked our ship off the coast of Sicily, and he may well have been the Stuka pilot who made me a present of a piece of excellent German steel.
I had not seriously expected to survive the war in the Commandos, but there was a job that had to be done. I wanted to repay my debt to Britain for saving my life.

The decision to contribute a Norwegian force was made following an inquiry from War Office to the Norwegian High Command in the spring of 1942.
5 Troop was formed from 2 platoons of the 4th Mountain Company, Norwegian Brigade, commanded by Captain Rolf Hauge. They were selected because they had recently completed battle training at Fort William, Scotland, and were supplemented with volunteers from the Brigade's other companies.
5 Troop entered active duty immediatedly after completing a three-week "Commando Hardening Course" at Achnacarry.
12 of the Commandos led by Lieutenant Harald Risnes were attached to No 12 Commando. They operated from Shetland taking part in raids on the Norwegian coast by 30th MTB Flotilla (later designated 54th 'Norwegian' MTB Flotilla).
In December 1942, a detachment of 8 men under command of 2nd Lt Kaspar Gudmundseth was transfered to Special Commando Boating Group, No 14 Commando. SCBG was made up of Canadians and Norwegians led by British polar explorers (Sir Peter Scott, David Haig-Thomas, Andrew Croft, Andrew Courtland and others). They specialised in using canoes and kayaks for limpet attacks in Arctic waters.
Around 120 Norwegians were attached to 5 Troop in the period 1942-1945.
