    Does anyone know which Commando units were operating in Tunisa and how I could find out the operations they were involved in? I'm after those operating in the Bou Arada region, and would like to be able to check the war diaries, but any advice as to books to read would also really help!

    Thanks guys, I think it was 6th commando I was after. I'll have a dug around on the web, and that site as well, and have a look, from what the both of you have told me it looks like a gentleman called Peter Bowe is who I am after. I'll send him an email... given that a search of his name turned up this site (as is often the case) and a question similar to what I am asking, i think I may be on to something.

    However if there are any good books or sites out there for 6th commando, i'm still really interested in hearing about them.
