Early in the Second World War, Peter Wand-Tetley volunteered for
special service. He saw action first with the newly formed Commandos
raiding the North African coast and then in the fierce fighting on
Crete. Operations with the LRDG in the Western Desert were followed by
SAS actions as Rommel retreated to Tunis. Remarkably he then
transferred to the Special Operations Executive and was parachuted
blind into enemy occupied Greece in 1943. His role was to train and
equip Andarte guerillas and his contribution and courage were
recognized by the award of an immediate MC.Following victory in Europe
he sailed with the Parachute Regiment to Javo where he fought in the
counter-insurgency war.As well as describing his exemplary war record,
Special Forces Commander covers Wand-Tetleys early life (he was a
superb marksman) and his career post war in the turbulent days of the
end of Empire.
