What a collection! Have to admit I had never heard of M Detachment let alone knew it had its own arm title.

Proves it's still out there and that we all have something to learn.

Found a mention of M Detachment :

"The SBS was headquartered in Athlit, south of Haifa, around this time and comprised a force approximately 250 strong, with L, S and M detachments."

Can anyone with the technical know how let me have an image of the M Detachment title as I plan to write it up in the Military Heraldry Society's Journal.

Thanks

Very many thanks.

The info about there being three detachments does of course suggest that there may also be similar titles for L and S Detachments...
