As the events of the Second World War fade into the distance it is important that the activities of a small band of brothers are not overlooked.

Later, these units evolved into the famed airborne forces and commandos who went on to take a major part in operations such as D-Day, Arnhem and the crossing of the Rhine. However, before this, during the early...
