Ann - if you could provide his name, then the Gazette can be checked, to see if it provides any more detail ...

hi his name was robert norman wilding we have checked them and could find nothing at all i have photos of him in uniform i can send you if that helps ann

Sorry, Ann; I have also checked the Gazette and found no mention of him.
It might be worth contacting the RN Commando Association, and see if they could help -
