"Kill Without Mercy, Party Like There's No Tomorrow"

The Daily Mail discusses a bit of the history of the British Small Scale Raiding Force (SSRF), operating under the aegis of the secretive Special Operations Executive, during WWII. The information seems to be from Churchill's Secret Warriors by Damien Lewis. The article describes the group thusly: "Often dosed up on powerful amphetamines, they were an eclectic, wildly unconventional bunch, one of whom favoured the bow-and-arrow as his weapon of choice." Anyway, an interesting read.
