List of SAS operations

The Special Air Service began life in July 1941, the brainchild of Lieutenant David Stirling of No.

The SAS carried out this role until the end of the war serving in a number of theatres and campaigns.

By the end of the Second World War on 8 May 1945, the SAS had suffered 330 casualties, but had killed or wounded 7,733 and captured 23,000 of their enemies.
