The Alternative world of "Commando" Books and other WW2 Comics

I remembered a story that appeared in an annual of "Battle Pictue Weekly" that was rather good.
(I think it's still up my Auntie's house, might have to have a look for it.)
Started off in a Zepplin Raid in WW1, a mother singing her young son to sleep.
Bomb hits house mother killed.
Boy gets sent to orphanage, gets into trouble & always fighting.
Sent to court an it is suggested he joins Army, he does but always in trouble , drunk & fighting.
His day comes in retreat to Dunkirk where he holds off the Germans so his mates can escape.
Last seen in a hail of German bullets firing a Bren gun suffering from multiple wounds whilst singing the song his mother sang the night she died.

Must have been 30+ years ago I first read that I always thought it was a great little story, I wonder if it was based on someone the author knew?

 

Before we got married my husband accompanied me to meet my grandparents in Germany. They could not speak a word of English, so I was translating back and forward. Husband suddenly says in slooow English to my Grandfather, "don't worry, I can speak some German".

...

"Achtung Spitfeuer! Ach, mein glorious Panzer Division! Gott in Himmel & Hande hoch, Britischer pigdogs"

Wonder where he learned that curious mixture of German and English then ...
