Tasks: 1. where did he get his MC and Croix de Guerre?? Litani River??

2. Check whether he was still part of No11 Commando - elsewhere it says this (and Layforce) had been disbanded several months before

3. date of birth (he was 24 when he died)

In The Grand Alliance, Churchill says that "fifty men of the Scottish Commando, under Colonel Laycock" were sent on the attack. This suggests that the Scottish Commando is distinct from No11 Commando, an English regiment. Lorangriel 19:45, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page's account of who shot whom differs from Operation_Flipper - I could not find a source to settle the matter... Anyone ? --Jean-Marc Liotier (talk) 12:51, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Scot?[edit]

Keyes is described in the article as Scottish, and he was born in Scotland. But his father does not seem to have been a Scot; he was educated in England; and the article refers to the family home being in Buckinghamshire. Would "British" be more appropriate in this instance?
