From their establishment in June 1940, the Commando units conducted a succession of daring hit-and-run raids from the sea into North-West Europe, Scandinavia, Italy and the Middle East. Among the highly publicised Commando operations were the raids on Vaagso, Dieppe, and St Nazaire. The Commandos also spawned a range of other Special Forces, including the Special Air Service, Special Boat Service and the Parachute Regiment. This Battle Orders title provides a detailed examination of the Army (and later Royal Marine) Commandos raised in the United Kingdom, from their inception in 1940 through to 1946, when the Army Commandos were disbanded and the role was assigned exclusively to the Royal Marines.

Industry Reviews

"This compact book is recommended to those interested in special forces planning for expeditionary operations as well as those interested in a short history of the Army Commandos complete with tables of organization, equipment and the historically significant battle honours. As a handy reference for building an organization or a starting point for future in-depth reference, British Commandos: 1940-46 is highly recommended." --Lieutenant-Colonel Robert S Williams MSM CD, The Canadian Army Journal (Summer 2007)
