From Wartime Memories Project "One night Lord Lovat's team of Commandos, which was stationed in Lochaber, mounted a mock invasion of Mull as a training exercise and firecrackers and thunder flashes were thrown onto the ships. The Navy thought it was the real thing and retaliated with Live ammunition and hose pipes."
