About The Site:

This site is dedicated to the memory of Special Forces from World War 2 to the present who served and died in places and under circumstances most of us can only imagine in our worst nightmares.

My research has taken nearly 40 years and is sadly still ongoing as wars and conflicts show no sign of abating worldwide.

I sincerely hope that no information,errors or omissions cause any offence to families or Associations.

I hope this site serves as an everlasting memorial to past,present and future Special Forces.

Please feel free to contact me re errors or additional material.

In memory of my late father-in-law Adam Anderson,PPA 1944-45.

John Robertson, Ayr, Scotland

Please note all dates given numerically are in the British format. i.e. 5.3.2008 is 5th March 2008 and not 3rd May 2008

It is with great sadness that i have to report the passing of my dad, John Robertson. Today June 9th 2020 he passed away after a long, hard battle with cancer. He began this site 15 years ago after many years of passion for military history. The site has grown and grown due to his love of helping people find out more about lost relatives. Site also dedicated to his wife June Robertson who passed away 5th October 2023. Rest in peace Mum & Dad.

    lol! I am a nephew of Huia, son of his second youngest brother David Woods. Huia’s contribution to the NZ SAS is legendary. ANZAC day 2022 I watched the documentary released called the shark of war. This was about Harding Leaf and the Maori Battalion. The Leaf and Woods family are related so I...

    Was it true that Goddard threw his life away recklessly when he could have stayed under cover.

  • Francis Kendall
    According to a personal report Kendall wrote on 17 September 1968, "I am a Canadian, born and raised in Vancouver, and have lived in Hong Kong and South China for the past 35 years." This would mean that he first arrived in Hong Kong in 1933, not in childhood.

    The cropped portrait is not that...

    Hello there,
    My name is Clodagh Finn and I'm writing a book on the Irish who joined the Resistance in WW2. I'm delighted to see Maureen O'Sullivan here with Major Mayer. Do you know when or where it was taken?
    Is she being honoured here after her service in the field? Any additional information...
  • P. McWilliams
    You could be right but my Grandad (Mac to his buddies) was in the SAS in Oman in 1964. I’m pretty confident it’s him, he was with D Squadron at the time. This is 10 years on from Malaya where his CO was Peter DLB.

  • John Ridgway
    I attended a captivating talk around 1967/68, with a slideshow, on Chay Blyth and John Ridgway’s 1966 adventure rowing across the Atlantic. I don’t now remember if it was Blyth or Ridgeway who gave the talk, but I guess it was Blyth, as my research, confirmed here, revealed Ridgway served with D...
