First published in 1948 as 'Commando Men - The Story Of A Royal Marine Commando in North-West Europe', the book tells the story of the men of General Section 45 Royal Marine Commando in N.W. Europe. Samain was the Intelligence Officer of No. 45 Royal Marine Commando, and in this revised edition the book gives a complete yet concise account of their operations from D-Day until VE-Day, through Northern France to the Baltic.

A very clear, readable, and quite personal account of the remarkable exploits of No.45 Commando, which serves as a fine tribute to the courage and skill of its personnel, who may be considered an elite in the truest sense of that much over-used word.

Pegasus Archive

An excellent history that includes some interesting photographs and plenty of maps depicting the actions fought by No.45 Commando.
