Het boek van Reitz is een sterk en invoelbaar verhaal door zijn eenvoud van verteltrant en gewoonheid van het leven in oorlog. Reitz heeft een open oog voor de mensen in de strijd van Boer en Rooinek, van zijn medestrijders, de paarden en muilezels, de zwarte bedienden (die hij opvallend modern beschrijft) tot de Britten die weliswaar de tegenstander zijn, maar niet een hatelijke vijand. As the Second World War progressed, commandos were deployed in the role of assault troops. They played a key role during the D-Day landings in June 1944, where they destroyed gun batteries and seized bridges and other targets. They performed a similar role in the fighting in Sicily and Italy in 1943-45. And during the operations in Burma in 1943-45, commandos served with the Chindits and in the amphibious landings in the Arakan. As well as the comics, annuals were also produced in 1989 and 1990, each containing seven new stories. The annuals were in full colour and illustrated in the style of the time, not in the original style of the comics. Handle this latest bumper book of the best Commando war stories with care. You’ll need nerves of steel to cope with the drama and the excitement, and once you’ve found a safe spot to settle and open the book . . . well, you’ll be hooked.a b c d e f g Moody, Nekesa Mumbi (18 January 2012). "Johnny Ramone's 'Commando' Autobiography To Be Released In April". Billboard Magazine . Retrieved 28 September 2013. A 'bookazine' of Norton history and development based around a collection of images from the Mortons Archive This is an autobiographical work of Mr. Reitz’s time in the commandoes during the last of the Boer Wars. The author limited the scope of this work to the actual war and only referenced his antebellum life in the first chapter or in passing in later chapters. This was a refreshing change from some modern autobiographies of war that spend large portions of the book discussing life before the war service is ever discussed. In June 2013, it was announced that Commando Comics, whilst still owned by D C Thomson based in Dundee, would now be printed by GGP Media in Germany. [6] [13]

[1] Tommy was quoted as saying:A comprehensive history of the Manx Norton, including information on tuners and the current classic racing scene The highly-trained airborne soldiers went on to serve in North Africa (1942-43), Sicily (1943), Italy (1943-44), southern France (1944) and Greece (1944-45). Five parachute battalions landed in France prior to D-Day (1944) to destroy bridges and gun batteries. They also helped cut off German reinforcements from the Normandy beachheads. Both the Commandos and parachutists won their ferocious reputations by fighting as elite, but traditional soldiers, in North Africa, Italy and North West Europe, often in large brigade-sized formations. This was different from the role originally conceived for them in 1940. Features “Dive! Dive! Dive!” features “Java Sea Jinx”, “Dive! Dive! Dive!” and “The Silent Service”.

In 2011-2012 the National Army Museum in London staged a major retrospective exhibition, "Draw Your Weapons: The Art of Commando Comics". [28] See also [ edit ]The Norton Owners Club library holds copies of a wide range of literature about Nortons. These include books, sales brochures, price lists, test reports and other publications. The War Office completed a study that concluded large commando forces were not required in the post-war world and the Army Commandos were abolished in 1946. Evocatively titled stories such as ‘The Fighting Few’, ‘Bright Blade of Courage’, ‘Flak Fever’ and ‘Fight or Die!’ show fearless Tommies in their finest hours, giving a good honest drubbing to fanatical foes from all the Axis countries. John Ridgway, whose work with Commando began in 1971 with issue no 546 Mustang Ace and who has drawn the interior art for over 120 issues and for half of those, he also did the cover-art.
