War came to North Africa in June 1940. But it was over a year before a newly-formed SAS went into action. Until then, the fight belonged to an elite, top secret band of brothers called the Long Range Desert Group.

They were Britain’s first special forces.

Born out of a pre-war club of explorers, eccentrics and mavericks, the LRDG operated alone behind enemy lines, performing astonishing feats of navigation, endurance and survival, and paved the way for the SAS.

Drawing on his own decade’s service with UK Special Forces, Titch Cormack brings to life the action-packed but little-known story of Britain’s original rogue heroes.

Steve ‘Titch’ Cormack served for eleven years with the Royal Marine Commandos and another ten with the Special Boat Service. He saw active service throughout the Middle East and North Africa and around the world both in conventional and covert operations. As a specialist in mobility operations, his final appointment within the special forces was the Chief Mobility Instructor. He was medically discharged in 2016 after complications due to multiple operational injuries throughout his career. Despite these injuries, the lifelong passion for riding and racing motorcycles, at which he competed for the military, has endured and he still races nationally to this day. On retiring from the military he followed his ambition to create a motorcycle social hub and workshop ‘ The S-Bomb vintage workshop’, building custom motorbikes and cars, and starred in a TV series “The Speedshop”, pushing his vehicles and himself to the limits over some of the toughest terrain on earth. He appears regularly on television, as a public speaker, and even made The Times’ ‘TV Hard Men Hotlist’, generating vast amounts of banter from his former comrades.
