Remembering today Tom McCormack, 5 Troop (Liverpool Scottish), No 2 Commando, who this day in 1942 died of wounds sustained at the St Nazaire Raid a fortnight earlier. His grave marker at Rennes with the poppy wreath with Forbes tartan we placed on the 70th Anniversary of Operation Chariot in 2012 and a picture of Tom from Paignton before the raid.
