SBS in Burma

Thought this was intresting Lt F.N. Best SBS Operations in Burma in WW2

 

Nice found. On the same site you can find more photos of 2nd SBS in Far East (link).

 

I agree with sol. Also on there is a thread on 142 Commando, the Sabotage experts for the 1943 Chindit operation. Some of these men came via the Bush Warfare School in Maymyo, Burma.

142 Commando Brigade?

It was actually a company size unit if I remember correctly. Anyway fantastic threaad. Thanks Bamboo

 

You are totally correct sol. The unit had its name and title changed on a few occasions (142 RIASC), this was supposed to hide it's true identity and the nature of it's work.

See guys you post a link and all sorts off information comes forth

 

I got myself a book, "The Banzai Hunters", by Peter Haining, about riverine warfare in Burma 1944-45, and even though it's still a bit far down my reading queue, I'll try to check the index and if necessary a few pages (so as not to spoil my "battle order" ), to see if there's anything relevant on this subject.
