Captioned: "Commandoes of the 41st Royal British Marines plant demolition charges along railroad tracks of enemy supply line which they demolished during a commando raid, 8 miles south of Songjin, Korea." 41 Commando or No. 41 (Royal Marine) Commando was a unit of Royal Marines trained as Commandos during the Second World War. During the Korean War 41 Commando was reconstituted as 41 (Independent) Commando following a request from the United Nations Command for more amphibious raiding forces. The independent designation meant that their commander had sole responsibility for their unit and did not have to consult with higher headquarters on operational and logistical matters.
