    In Jinja Road Cemetery, Kampala, Uganda I recently photographed the CWGC grave of:

    3244104 CQMS J. Mason
    52nd Regiment Reconnaissance Corps Commando
    22nd June 1943

    Has anyone any information on this unit and why a member should be buried in Uganda?

    Could James Mason have been involved in the Madagascar operation, perhaps as a member of 5 COMMANDO?

    Moved this to its own thread so it has better exposure.

    Uganda is a fair few thousand miles away from Madagascar.

    On CWGC it does say his secondary unit is Commando so I'm guessing he was attached to them.
