Notes

3rd Special Service Brigade comprised 1 and 5 (Army) Commandos, and 42 and 44 Royal Marine Commandos, and was employed on amphibious landings in the Arakan under XV Corps. A few weeks after this inspection, 3rd Special Service Brigade would lead the landings on Akyab Island, which fell without a fight on 3 January 1945.
