Special Service Brigade
The Special Service Brigade was a formation of the British Army during the Second World War.
It was formed in 1940, after the call for volunteers for Special Service who eventually became the British Commandos.
==Background==
In 1940, volunteers were called for from serving British Army soldiers within certain formations still in Britain and men of the disbanding Divisional Independent Companies originally raised from Territorial Army Divisions and who had seen service in Norway. In November 1940 these army units were organised into a Special Service Brigade under Brigadier J. C. Haydon with five Special Service battalions.〔Joslen, p.454〕 By the autumn of 1940 more than 2,000 men had volunteered for Commando training, and the Special Service Brigade now consisted of 12 units which were now called Commandos.〔Haskew, p.48〕 Each Commando would number around 450 men, commanded by a Lieutenant Colonel. They were divided into Troops of 75 men and further divided into 15 man sections.〔 The Commandos were all volunteers, seconded from other British Army regiments, but they retained their own regimental cap badges and remained on their regimental roll for pay.〔Moreman, p.12〕
