On the 26th June 1942 the War Office gave approval for the formation of a Headquarters Troop for the new Inter Allied Commando.
In 1946 the Army Council decided that the Army Commandos were to be disbanded and no provision was allowed or made for any depository or office which would have at least contained a complete Roster of Names of the men who served in the various units.
3 troop, also referred to as the Miscellaneous troop, X troop, and, post war, as the Jewish troop, consisted solely of German speaking refugees most being of Jewish Faith. They included different nationalities, primarily German and Austrians, but also Hungarians and Czech's.
