The Second Battalion had a frustrating first half to the war, with only the abortive Dakar Expedition to show for their efforts. Reformed as a commando it served in the Mediterranean from 1943 at Anzio, in Yugoslavia and in northern Italy, where the Marines only Victoria Cross of the war was won. A good account. |
