| book description |
Formed in 1940 as Special Boat Section and later amalgamated into 1st SAS Regiment as part of Colonel David Stirling’s expansion, the famed SBS were a commando unit designed to carry out amphibious raids on Axis occupied territory during WW2. Originally referred to by Stirling as the ‘Folboat Section’ and reconstituted as the Special Boat Squadron under the command of Captain Earl George Jellicoe, the SBS set about causing havoc in the enemy held islands of the Aegean. This is the personal account of one man, Desmond Marshall, who in late 1943 was recruited as a signaller into L Squadron SBS. Written in the years following the war and undiscovered until over half a century later, it is only now this unique account of wartime life in the SBS is being revealed in his own words. Join Des and L Squadron on their daring adventures behind enemy lines in this detailed and riveting, never before told story.
