The Long Range Desert
Group 1940-1945 by Robin Jenner, David List and Mike Badrocke
On 1 August 1945 one of the finest intelligence gathering units
ever created by the British Army was disbanded. Formed on 3 July 1940, the
Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) was the brilliant product of the vision of
Major Ralph Bagnold of the Royal Corps of Signals. As a model for what is
commonly known as a Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol unit, the Group can
have few equals. Between 26 December 1940 and 10 April 1943, a total of
only 15 days passed without a patrol of LRDG operating behind or on the
flanks of the enemy - a remarkable achievement.
