Shortly after the invasion of Sicily Churchill ordered the occupation of the Dodecanese Islands in the Aegean. The Long Range Desert Group, retraining in Lebanon, were now part of Raiding Forces, Middle East, along with the Special Boat Service and No 30 Commando. The LRDG landed on Leros establishing observation posts, reporting movement of enemy shipping and aircraft and fought bitter battles in the area until the end of 1943.
