Description
The Second World War saw the emergence of Special Forces units, such as the SAS and LRDG, in the harsh Middle Eastern climate. These units required highly self-reliant soldiers who could operate with minimal support. Their leaders, known for their tactical vision and leadership skills, played a crucial role in the war's outcome. The war shifted dramatically in 1943, with German forces in North Africa defeated and Allied landings in Sicily and Italy. The British played a significant role in supporting the Yugoslav resistance, a guerrilla army that freed the country from German occupation. This book tells the story of Walter Jones's service with the Raiding Support Regiment, a unit that operated in this complex and often overlooked theatre of the war. Walter Jones's diary provides a unique insight into the operations of the Raiding Support Regiment, shedding light on the challenges and successes of this special unit.
