[QUOTE="geronimo, post: 42907, member: 392"] sas is made up of members of layforce ( 8 commando mainly). layforce was created out of amalgamated commando groups in the area such as 8 commando and 50 through 52 ME commando. they take part as layforce in the rearguard action on crete where they lose D battalion and many other on crete ( I think A battalion comes back to Egypt in strength) so you would be looking post crete. after crete layforce is split and teh men go into holding as spares and some go to other commando type unts such as 1 SS regiment. if you can scan me a copy of his record I can have a look see if I can decipher it for you cheekyphil666@hotmail.com My grandfather was D batt layforce and joined the sas in 43 after escaping crete [/QUOTE]
