An article in my local newspaper mentions 50 Commando. Has anyone ever heard of this ?

Hello Peter

There are many good researchers here who I am sure will help you with your quest.

No. 50,51, and 52 Commando were collectively known as the 'Middle East Commandos'

They took part in the war in the middle East.

50 and 52 later amalagmated and took part in the battle of Crete.

A book covering their exploits was published in 1988

The Middle East Commandos by Charles Messenger pub William Kimber.

I hope this gives you a start.

Best Regards

Thanks for the info John. I have attached the newspaper cutting which I thought might be of interest to others.
