WW2 British Commando (Assault Jerkin) Minifigure

United Bricks – British Commando (Jerkin) – WWII British Special Forces Minifigure

The British Commandos were among the most highly trained and specialized units of the British Armed Forces during the Second World War. These elite troops were established in June 1940 following a request from British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who wanted special forces capable of carrying out raids and operations against German-occupied Europe.

Initially recruited from volunteers serving in the British Army, the Commandos were drawn from soldiers who joined the Special Service Brigade. Over time, their ranks expanded to include personnel from all branches of the British Armed Forces, as well as foreign volunteers from German-occupied countries.

The Commandos participated in a wide range of operations, including raids against enemy coastal installations, sabotage missions, and reconnaissance operations. Their specialized training and surprise attacks made them an important part of the Allied war effort.

A crucial part of their training took place at Achnacarry in Scotland, where recruits underwent an exceptionally demanding Commando training course. By the end of the war, approximately 25,000 servicemen had completed the course, including volunteers from Britain, Greece, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Canada, Norway, and Poland.

The Distinctive Jerkin Vest

One of the most recognizable features of this British Commando's equipment was the distinctive Jerkin vest, designed by Colonel Rivers Macpherson. Its design was inspired by the practical vests traditionally worn by Scottish poachers and gamekeepers before the Second World War.

The vest provided a practical clothing solution for soldiers who required freedom of movement and functional equipment during special operations. Jerkin vests were worn by British Commando units during D-Day on June 6, 1944, as well as during subsequent raids and operations across Northwest Europe.

This distinctive garment makes the British Commando Jerkin a particularly recognizable part of the military history of the Second World War.
