served in the 1st Battn Cheshire Regt during WWII. Apparently, he made

WO. Arthur Kitchener Coulson . Royal Navy HMS Manchester from Portsmouth My Dad Arthur Coulson served on HMS Manchester during WW2.
He was a warrant officer, I believe, in charge of the weapons control systems and was involved right from commissioning in Newcastle (the shipyard had to use Glaswegians to translate as the southern officers could not understand the local accent) He was one of those who managed to swim to shore when the ship was torpedoed and ended up in the prison camp.
His views of the Vichy French were unprintable but beyond that he wouldn't talk about it. He was also in Scapa Flow over Xmas when the fleet was expecting war to be declared and said that it was one of his most miserable Xmas's ever.

L/Cpl. Denis Edlington Coulthread . British Army 11th Scottish Commando Royal Scots from Doncaster, South Yorkshire My father, Denis Edlington Coulthread, was on the famous Rommel raid and was Geoffrey Keye's batman and bodyguard. He got caught after the raid and taken pow and taken to Stalag 344 Lambinowice, Poland pow no is 220922. My father never ever spoke about his past as I was very close to my father not knowing he had a bayonet scar the shape of a letter "s" on his back. When my father died, my mother gave me a published book that was presented to my father in 1957 signed Elizabeth Keyes and it is all about the Rommel Raid and her brother, Geoffrey Keyes, my father is also in the book called "Get Rommel" by Michael Asher. I was 21 years old at the time and just could not believe the history about my father. I wish I had some photos of him in is younger days but only have one of him aged 60. I would love to receive any information on my late father.

L/Cpl. Dennis Coulthread . British Army 10/11 Commando My uncle, Dennis Coulthread, was with Geoffrey Keyes on Operation Flipper, the raid on 'Rommel's House' at Beda Littoria in Libya, November 1941. The raid did not go well (to put it mildly) and he was eventually captured by the Italians. I don't know the sequence of events, but he ended up in Stalag 8b, part of the Auschwitz complex. He only spoke to me once about this. He did forced work in a local factory and said he kept his head down and his mouth shut.
One morning he gave a Jewish boy some food from a Red Cross parcel. When he returned from the factory, he saw that the boy had been hanged, having refused to say who had given him the food.
He said that towards the end of the war the prisoners were force-marched into Germany. Many died on this march, and anyone who tried to help someone was shot there and then. Dennis was a robust, tough man, and he said it was this that got him through.
I think that by the time Hitler issued his infamous 'commando order' they must have lost track of his real identity, either by chance or deception. No doubt they would have carried out this order retrospectively. My father said Dennis's hair had gone from jet black to pure white over a couple of years and this made him appear older - probably saving him from hard labour in the mines and further concealing his real identity.
