Personal Information

Cpl. (later CQMS) 'Chuck' Harris came as a Sergeant from Special Services - Waterproofing and Amphibious Expert. He joined 47 Commando early May 1944. As the Commando did not require a senior NCO for his particular job, he had to shed his stripes. He served with 47 Commando until late November 1945 getting back to Corporal. He was then posted to 20th Battalion where he was made up to Company Quarter Master Sergeant. A year later he left the Corps and served in the Metropolitan Police until his retirement.
