Lieutenant Colonel Peter George "Pug" Davis DSC (9 December 1923 – 18 August 2011) was an officer in the Royal Marines.
In mid-1944, Davis was based on the island of Vis in the Adriatic off the coast of the Former Yugoslavia (in present-day Croatia) as commander of a flotilla of Landing Craft (Assault) (LCAs).
In June some of his reinforcements were ambushed in the mountains during a mission and only twelve men escaped to shore.
[2] After the war, Davis was sent to Germany to oversee the establishment of the Royal Marines Demolition Unit along Rhine, intended to be a deterrent against the Soviets in the East.
He led "Pugforce", an amalgam of Royal Marines, Ghurkhas, Sarawak Rangers and Iban trackers deep in the jungle and managed to capture several rebels.
