By the autumn of 1940 more than 2,000 men had volunteered for Commando training, and what became known as the Special Service Brigade was formed into 12 units called Commandos.
•
In March 1945 the commando withdrew back to India to prepare for Operation Zipper, the planned invasion of Malaya.
•
Following the end of the war, No. 1 Commando undertook garrison duties in Hong Kong.
•
In 1943, No. 1 Commando also came under command the 3rd Special Service Brigade.
•
The war ended before the Zipper landing could take place, and the commando went to liberate Hong Kong instead.
