A rugged US-manufactured sidearm offering lethal stopping power, the .45-calibre Colt M1911 semi-automatic pistol was a standard-issue weapon employed by the Commandos during World War II. (Leroy Thompson)

Having rested for a few minutes, the raiders pushed off down the cart track with Keyes in the lead, followed by Terry, Drori and the Arabs. Some 50 yards back were Campbell and the rest of the Commandos. As they neared the bottom of the cart track the guides became≈increasingly nervous, telling Drori that they wished to depart, as their job was done. The interpreter told Keyes the men’s concerns, whereupon he took out his revolver and said to Drori: ‘Tell them to go on until I tell them to stop’. Continuing along the cart track, which was muddy but otherwise easily negotiable, the Commandos came to a shrub beside a fork. They were now less than half a mile from Beda Littoria but, despite their proximity to the target, Keyes allowed those who wanted it a final cigarette. Then they moved on, creeping ever closer until they reached the track that led down the slope and towards the rear of the village.
