How sad that so many of the highly trained British special forces were just left on the front lines until they were ground up. I'm thinking of units like the 2nd Ox and Bucks Light Infantry who took Pegasus Bridge in the first action of D-Day. They essentially ceased to exist as a fighting force by thirty days later and the liberation of Caen.
