No.CH/X 106357, Marine, Ronald Edward PALMER
Aged 21
Born in 1922 (3rd qtr Bury St.Edmunds 4a:1654), son of Frederick George and Isla Ruby Mary PALMER (née ROSE). He married Kathleen Phyllis BEAN in 1942 in Watford. |
So far nothing else found, but Ronald is buried with 2 other Marines, Norman HERON of Shiremoor, Northumberland, and Hubert Evans of Comberbach, Cheshire so
it there may be information via them.br>
CWGC have Hubert and Norman as with Royal Marine Group, MNBDO 2..This does not help as the MNBDO were a nebulous outfit about which less seems to be known than
Bletchley. Suffice it to say that the general impression to be given is a Base Defence Organisation. As they are all three buried in a collective grave the
implication is that whatever happened, it destroyed all three of them. Since there is little recorded about the existence of this unit,it is highly unlikely
that this incidence is recorded in the public domain. It was two months after the landings on mainland Italy.
