Just a few comments about Operation Biting...this is still thought of as the ideal Combined Operations plan. As well as the RAF who dropped them, the Royal Navy took them off and the Army did the business. This was in spite of several potential pitfalls. When Major Frost was 'offered' the chance to lead the raid, he was told the plan couldn't be changed-apparently Browning at Airborne Forces HQ had a hand in it and if Frost didn't like it they would find someone who did. Frost didn't like certain aspects of the plan but at hte time kept them to himself. It could have been a disaster. For example he was meant to lead the attack on the chateau himself..not the best place for command and control!
The other point is that as well as C Company from the 2nd Battalion, medics form 181 Airlanding Field Ambulance RAMC were sent on the boats to help with any wounded and around 30 men from the Royal Fusiliers and South Wales Borderers also went to cover the withdrawal to the landing craft.
