Wallace Adcock
British Army Royal Norfolk Regiment
from:Swaffham, Norfolk
Wallace Adcock was stationed with the Royal Norfolk Regiment in India prior to the outbreak of WW2. He volunteered for guerilla warfare in Finland and when Russia joined the Allies he became part of the Independent Companies prior to the formation of the Army Commando. He served in number one Commando and I was informed at his funeral that he was highly thought of by Lord Lovat. (They were involved in certain ploys). After jaunts to Norway and North Africa prior to Torch, and beach sampling near Boulogne he went as weapons instructor to Achnacarry. There are photographs of him with Lord Lovat.
