Hi guys, I am intrigued to find out which British RM Commando Units were NOT involved with the NW Europe Campaign up until 18/8/1944......i was always told by my Great Uncle that he transfered out of the RM Commandos because he wasnt seeing any action, though wouldnt you think that Commandos were at that time fighting in Normandy?......i am in no way an expert on the RMCs so i would appreciate some help on this.... Donnie
Looking at this 40 & 43 RM Cdo were in the Med. With No 2 & 9 Cdo. The Mediterranean and Balkans — Commandos 3 Cdo Bde in Far East. The Far East — Commandos
Hi Donnie, According to "Commandoes and Rangers of World War 2" by James Ladd: 40 (RM) Commando: Served in Mediterranean with 2 Special Service/Commando Brigade 42 (RM) Commando: Served in Far East with 3 Special Service/Commando Brigade 43 (RM) Commando: Served in Mediterranean with 2 Special Service/Commando Brigade 44 (RM) Commando: Served in Far East with 3 Special Service/Commando Brigade Best Regards Mace
Hi guys, My uncle went to Burma late 1945......i dont think he would have transfered from 3 Cdo if they were already in India ready to go in.....so i have a choice of 4 others... Cheers again guys, Donnie
