So this is my start. Talk to you soon
Lests to all

Hello Laurent
As far as the Commando Operations you mention are concerned - primarily it will be 2 Special Service / Commando Brigade including Vis Garrison. I think you may also be interested in Force 133 of Special Operations Executive, Raiding Forces Middle East, and Land Forces Adriatic including the light artillery of Raiding Support Regiment (although Force 133 etc were not 'Commando' in the strictest term of the world. In deed leaders of Commando Group wanted the word 'Commando' to be restricted to units under their command).
Looking forward to more correspondence ... The Balkans and Yugoslavia are a complex and neglected aspect of WW2.
Regards
Mike
