The Commando nearest camera is Australian. His distinctive Cap Badge shows a Silver F & S Commando Fighting Knife and. Gold coloured Boomerang on which is their Motto ‘Strikes Swiftly’. At one time very close links were maintained between this Unit and the Royal Marines. Back in the day 2 Young Officers came down to CTCRM from them to attend the UK Commando Course and I was given the task of taking them for the one week Acquaint.
