The remustering sounds like the situation with the USAAF. Around the time of Ardenne inlate 1944, a lot of aircrew trainees were transfered to the infantry because the huge demand for manpower.

However, I'd never realised that this also occurred in the Commonwealth forces. Haven't come across it in the RAF.

Considering the situation in that theatre right to the last days, he must have had a rough time in the commandos.

And yes, a book would be great Owen. How many people had such a varied service life. You'd have at least two buyers in Andy and me
