: : The SAS started in W.W.II as a form of small operations force. Their founder, David Sterling of No.8 Commando, got permission to form these raiders in the Middle-East when he personally was faced with having to either join another Commando or return to his original unit when No.8 were being disbanded.

: : The SAS was just one raider unit which emerged during the war, like the Special Boat Section, Special Raiding Squadron, Small Scale Raiding Force, Combined Operations Pilotage Party, Long Range Desert Group, even Popski’s Private Army! The largest body of specialist raiders were the Army Commandos later augmented by the Royal Marine Commandos. Most of the raiders were disbanded or amalgamated during or at the end of the war, including the Army Commandos themselves. The Army kept on the SAS as a small affordable unit which we know has survived in a specific roll today.
