"The Slit Trench Sentinel"

The Pegasus Achives have the war diares for both the Air borne and the No1 Special Service Brigade.,including 6 Cdo D Day on.

While reading the diary for 6 Commando,I came across the following entry.

3 Aug 1944.Quote,'The first issue of the Commando daily news sheet Slit Trench Sentinel appears"

What is known of this news sheet,did it last any time,and are there any known copies in exsistence.

Regards
Graham

Hi
I assume that this publication did not survive either in memory, or as a news sheet.Shame, another source of information lost.
Thanks
Graham

You might be interested in reading the obituary published in The Telegraph to Capt. Arnold Wheeldon N°6 Commando:
"In the weeks after D-Day, Wheeldon produced a news-sheet, The Slit-Trench Sentinel, which gave the latest information about the progress of the landings on the other beaches."
