Wonderful model. Very convincing.
Just FYI, the LRDG and SAS were two entirely separate units. The LRDG was indeed an outgrowth of Ralph Bagnold’s pre-war desert journeys. But the LRDG remained largely a long-range recon group, not a raiding (direct action) organization.
The SAS was created through a separate process, and grew out of the Commando units that were sent to North Africa and SW Asia in 1940-41. David Stirling, who with Paddy Mayne founded the SAS, was an ex-Commando officer. The SAS was a direct-action spec ops unit, not a long range strategic recon unit.
The two units occasionally operated together, with the SAS essentially hitching rides and getting other support from the LRDG.
