About the Book

Formed originally on the orders of Winston Churchill in 1940, Commandos were specially trained fighting units, and by 1943 they had become lightly-equipped assault infantry, which often led amphibious attacks. 47 Royal Marine Commando: An Inside Story 1943-46 tells the story of 47 Royal Marine Commando in the Second World War, based on personal accounts written by veterans who served in the conflict. From their time in the Royal Marines to disbandment of the unit in 1946, this is a story of young men, some under-age, scared and not knowing what lies ahead, about to play a key role in freeing occupied Europe from Nazi tyranny. From the bloody D-Day landings in Normandy to fierce battles in Holland, some of these young men were taken prisoner and sent to camps until freed at the end of the war. There are eyewitness accounts of the Normandy landings, involvement with the RAF, Royal Navy and American forces, 10 Inter Allied Commando as well as the reactions of local inhabitants who heard news of the actions in which 47 Royal Marine Commando took a major part. Formed from 10th Battalion Royal Marines and reinforced by volunteers from several other parts of the British Armed Forces, they distinguished themselves by sheer determination and professionalism. Over 900 men served in or were attached to this Commando, keeping their overall strength up to 420. Many gave their lives never to return home so others might live to tell their story. Profusely illustrated with many unpublished photographs, 47 Royal Marine Commando: An Inside Story 1943-46 is a gripping yet haunting human story to coincide with the D-Day anniversary in 2014.

About the Author :
Marc de Bolster graduated in Bristol where he met veterans of 47 Royal Marine Commando at the 60th Anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy in 2004. De Bolter became involved with the Association when he was asked to become a member after which he designed their website. Six years later, de Bolster was invited to join the committee as a webmaster and historian. It was here that de Bolster gathered information, interviews and photographs from private collections of surviving veterans. 47 Royal Marine Commando: An Inside Story 1943-46 is the authoritarian book on this fascinating military unit.
