Notes
4 Special Service Bn. This Unit was formed by merging No 3 and 8 Commandos. It was short lived and by Feb 1941 the units had been redesignated back to individual Commando units. However in the interim period on the 31st January 1941, all of No 8 Commando, with a few from No 3 Commando, had embarked for the Middle East as part of Layforce.
