History of the 3rd S.A.S?

[CSM Gray]

I have been looking everywhere trying to find info on the 3rd S.A.S but I have not found anything. When were they formed and when were they disbanded? I have a 68 pattern DPM smock with a 3rd S.A.S patch on it and I'm trying to find out if it's original to the smock.

I dont think its original to the smock , i think 3rd SAS were French SAS in ww2 and i think it just added to tart the smock up

I think you are right there Mr Kradman the 3rd SAS were a French unit.. & also the regiments would have established by the time this smock was produced!! So I thinks it has been placed there for whatever reason.But not regimental reasons.. Cheers Terry.

Hi the 3rd SAS title is a post war reproduction I am afraid.3rd and 4th SAS were French SAS units in ww 2.
Cheers,
