Maj. Gen. R.E. Laycock
During the summer of 1940 the Independent Companies were grouped into S.S. Battalions and a few months later these battalions became Commandos and were grouped into a Special Service Brigade under the command of Brigadier J. C. Haydon. He was succeeded in March 1942 by Brigadier R. E. Laycock. In October 1943 Laycock became Chief of Combined Operations in succession to Lord Louis Mountbatten.
