@@snowtrailstv Sorry, it was the France part that had me confused, and calling them commandos as the Royal Marries did not become commandos until WW2. Did he mean Belgium instead if France? If so, could it be the "Zeebrugge Raid" in 1918 he is talking about?

In a mark of respect to those involved in the raid, the Royal Marines have never raised another 4th Battalion.
