This week in history, July 1940 the British government created one of the most daring and unconventional organizations of WW2: the Special Operations Executive (SOE).

Operating in secrecy, SOE agents carried out sabotage, espionage, and guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines.

80 years on, honouring the fallen remembering the sacrifice of the eight aircrew members and four OSS Operators.

Who in March 1945 lost their lives when their B-24 Liberator crashed while resupplying Operation Rype.

Gone but not forgotten. RIP warriors. #rype

Paying our respects to the SAS fallen at Fayid cemetery Commonwealth War Graves

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them."

Channelling wartime nostalgia at the Cecil Hotel in Alexandria.

Made famous during WW2 as Monty’s haunt and immortalised by the classic film "Ice Cold in Alex."

Following in the footsteps of legends across the Western Desert.

Paid our respects to Jock Lewes whilst at the El Alamein Memorial earlier this month. David Stirling, said later of Lewes, "Jock could far more genuinely claim to be founder of the SAS than I.”#WW2 #SAS #History @soe-expeditions.bsky.social

Zipping around in 4x4s over sand dunes is a blast today, but 80 years ago, it would’ve been a whole different vibe.

No air-con, and definitely no GPS, just an open-top vehicle with the sun blazing down and eyes peeled for German aircraft ready to strafe you.

The battle was named after El Alamein Railway Station. Today it still stands although it’s rather dilapidated. Always nice to compare Them & Now images @GuildofBG @SOE_Expeditions #WW2 #Battlefields

Found this wonderful captured Italian map from Hellfire Pass to Tobruk, dated 1939. It is overprinted with motor vehicle and camel tracks, as used by the LRDG and SAS. It should come in handy for SOE Expedition’s October North Africa tour soeexpeditions.com/north-africa...
