The Long Range Desert (LRDG) was a reconnaissance and raiding unit of the British Army during the Second World War Originally called the Long Range Patrol (LRP), the unit was founded in Egypt in June 1940 by Major Ralph A Bagnold, acting under the direction of General Archibald Wavell. Bagnold was assisted by Captain Patrick Clayton and Captain William Shaw. At first the majority of the men were from New Zealand, but they were soon joined by Southern Rhodesian and British volunteers, whereupon new sub-units were formed and the name was changed to the better-known Long Range Desert Group (LRDG). The LRDG never numbered more than 350 men, all of whom were volunteers.
The Long Range Desert Group fought against the Axis forces throughout the vast deserts of the North African Front during WWII. Allowing the L.R.D.G. to plow through the desert was their desert truck which was capable of also carrying numerous weapons such as machine guns and rifles, spare fuel, blankets, and food rations. The L.R.D.G. often used captured weapons, including the Italian Breda 20mm AA gun.
