Axis nationals and Yugoslavs in No. 10 Inter-Allied Commando
Ave amici,
I'm curious if anyone here can provide any data about the No. 3 Troop, also known as "X Troop" and the No. 7 Troop of the No. 10 Inter-Allied Commando Company. The "X Troop" was namely made up of German, Austrian, Italian, Hungarian and other Axis nationals, while the No. 7 Troop was built by Royal Yugoslav volunteers. I know for the fact that the Yugoslavian troop never mustered more than two officers and fourteen other ranks, but I would very much appreciate if anyone could fill here some further details about these two troops, especially about the actions they were involved in, their actual strength and if possible also the names of the their commanding officers.
Gratiam,
Octavianus

10 Inter-Allied Commando
Ave Andy,
Thanks for your forthcoming help. Tuesday is fine with me. Can you perhaps at least give me some hint about which Troop are you going to write down? About the X' Troop or the No. 7 (Royal Yugoslav) Troop?

Ave Andy et Oberst Michael,
Don't disperse, Andy. Any information here would be greatly appreciated, especially about X' and No. 7 (Yugoslav) Troop actions and strength. I have recently obtained some new interesting information that No. 7 (Yugoslav) Troop had probably mustered more than just some 15 men, as some sources indicated.
To Oberst Michael:

Gratia, Andy! If I am not mistaken Brigadier T.B.L. Churchill was even captured by the Germans in late 1944, while conducting a commando raid on Korcula Island, I think.No. 10 (Inter-Allied) Commando, fought from 1943 to 1945 in Italy, Yugoslavia and Greece. It was commanded first by Brigadier T.B.L. Churchill, M.C., and later by Brigadier R.J.F. Tod, D.S.O. Still trying to find the info Iknow I have here

To Oberst Michael:
Yes, sure, Oberst Michael, there were Slovenes in the No. 10 Inter-Allied Commando Company. I even believe they made up the majority of the "mannschaft" in that Troop. Any particular reason for asking me this?:-)Any Slovenes there?
Gratiam,

Ave Andy,
Hope this information will help you in your further research.
Gratiam,
Octavianus
I am not sure if this information of yours is correct. I have namely in the meantime got some new information. The No. 7 (Royal Yugoslav) Troop, formed on 20 August 1942 as part of 10th Inter-Allied Commando, fought in November 1943 in Italy with 2nd Special Service Brigade (Borello, Termoli etc..) and in February 1944 with Force 144, supporting the Partisans from Vis Island, before disbanding in April 1944. The Commanding Officer was one Lieutenant Keravin?? Have to say that I have never heard of any such surnames.The 10th (Inter Allied) served within the 4th SS (Special Service) Brigade from 1943 onwards.
Hope this information will help you in your further research.
Gratiam,
Octavianus
