The 4th Special Service Brigade was created in March 1944 from units of the Royal Marines. Due to the success of the Army Commandos operations in Norway, the Channel Islands, St. Nazaire, and the Middle East, the Admiralty dissolved the Marine Division in late 1942 and reorganized its amphibious assault infantry in to eight additional Commandos. The Brigade landed in Normandy on June 6 1944 during Operation Overlord and participated in the Battle of the Scheldt and the assault of the Walcheren Islands. On December 6 1944 the Brigade was re named 4th Commando Brigade, removing the hated title Special Service and its association with the German SS.
