coveted sand color. In fact, during WW2 many SAS units wore the maroon ("red") beret of Airborne Forces (especially those operating in NW Europe after D-Day); the "sand" coloured beret tended to be worn by original SAS regts formed for operations in the Middle East ("The Desert War") and Mediterranean/ Aegean Theatres of Operations. Early versions even included an "off-white" beret - soon abandoned by the SAS, but then adopted by the Reconnaissance Corps. By the later stages of WW2 all SAS units were, administratively, part of "Airborne Forces", and, tended, therefore, to wear the "Red Beret" with SAS Regt badge - although many, especially members of "the Originals", wore the sand beret. Post WW2 the SAS Regt had a very tenuous existence: mostly disbanded in 1945, and only reactivated in the late 1940s/ early 1950s because of the growing demands of the Cold War. Initially, the SAS only survived as a Territorial Unit (21 SAS, "The Artists' Rifles"), and this became the core of the "Malayan Scouts" formed to conduct deep penetration operations during the Malayan Counter-Insurgency Campaign ("The Emergency), 1948-63. By the mid 1950s it was clear there was a need for a regular SAS Regt (established as 22 SAS - simply following on from 21), and once established as part of the British Army's permanent Order of Battle was able formally to adopt the sand coloured beret as its distinct head wear. NB The New Zealand SAS Regt retains the maroon beret of Airborne Forces; probably because it is the only fully airborne unit of a very small army.
"Andy McNab" is the pseudonym of a real person who served in the British Army from the late 1970s to the mid 1990s, initially as an infantryman in the Royal Green Jackets (now subsumed into The Rifles), and then as a member of 22 SAS Regt.. His real name is now a matter of public record... easily found if the right searches are made.
i think a few british troops were 'accidentily' shiped to 'nam with the australian SAS but not in any great numbers.
There are three SAS forces on the planet (Note SAS is different from Special Forces). The British, Australian and New Zealand SAS's. The British SAS is thought to be widely the best special forces in the world, although the Australian SAS has beaten the British on numerous training exercises. And the NZ's is not that incredible, just a small country's ordinary special forces unit.
I believe it's found on the uniform beret. See the Wiki for British SAS uniform.
