Default Mission 204 World War Two

Hi - Just a quicky. Was Mission 204 a British Unit under British control with foreign/allied forces involved? If so is there anyway to distinguish between the badge of this unit and that of 50 Commando? Thanks in advance.

I don't have mine with me, but Peters Book on the wartime Special Forces
covers these sorts of details. You might want to get a copy.

Hi - I'm working from Peter Taylors Book but it doesn't quite give the detail I'm after in this case - a superb book though!

I am not an expert, but I do believe that the knuckleduster Mission 204 badge
is quite different from the Commando version. There is a thread on the
Commando version and it was made from a spoon. If you do a search for
spoon, you might just find it.
