Incredible what they did
I have a very interesting book on the Marauders written by one of the young officers.
It is very interesting as it focuses less on strategy and battle and more on the characters who made up the Marauders and the hardships they endured.
One such hardship was having a large number of pack mules and only one man who had any experience with mules.
These men were the red headed step children of the armed forces.
