Comments by "Jammy Dodger" (@JammyDodger45) on "3 RIFLES Compete To Be Crowned Best Soldier!" video.
Durham Light Infantry. The most experienced Regt in WW2 (in terms of days spent in close contact) and also, by %, the highest number of volunteers for the new Commando and Airborne formations.

@Leo-pz5ge - although now you've accidently awakened one of my pet hates ... when the Rifles were attached to 3 Cdo Bde I think they missed a massive trick by not going down the path of getting a vast number of lads commando trained (I'm a Bootie and we'd have welcomed it) but their WOs and senior officers were dead against it (prob because they were too old to pass the course) whereas some of the young lads were mad for it. Very short sighted of them in my opinion.

They're still sat at Dunkirk waiting for Christopher Nolan to get his camera off Tom Hardy in his spitfire and include them in the movie!

@Leo-pz5ge - any Regt that can survive with its HQ in the weirdly spooky place that is Bodmin deserves to resurrect! They're not too far from the Commando Training Centre so they could pick up as No1 Commando and we could get a two for one victory here!

@Ks-zv6js - I know it was a drama not a documentary but I couldn't agree with you more!
