Slight clarification but Eddie raises a good point:
No.1 Palestinian Company AMPC - provided the initial cadre for No.51 (ME) Cdo when the unit, under Lt Col HJ (Kid) Cator was formed at Geniefa, Egypt on 15/10/1940.
Also recall - very simplistically - many 'Aliens' of German etc descent were interned during WW2. Some were cleared to serve in the AMPC or similar units. Some then volunteered for special service of a hazardous nature and a few found their way into 3 Troop of No.10 (Inter-Allied) Commando.
