Raymond Marshall CDG MID British Army 3rd Maritime Regiment Royal Artillery from:Chester-le-Street Father, Ray Marshall volunteered for DEMS some months after 11th Battalion Durham Light Infantry returned to the U.K. following the evacuation from Dunkirk.

As war progressed,he was despatched further afield to India, Burma, Dutch East Indies by way of North Africa and South Africa. He spent some time on the transAtlantic route and one Russian convoy to Archangel. He was involved in Normandy landings on LCI, but a couple of days after D-Day. He was shipwrecked several times during his time with DEMS, but lucky enough to survive the war.
