5925090 HMS Queen Emma, Commando assault ship, 1941 (oil on board) by Mullen, Brian Joseph (1911-44); National Army Museum, London; (add.info.: HMS Queen Emma, Commando assault ship, 1941.
Oil on board by Lance Corporal Brian Joseph Mullen, Royal Engineers and No 4 Commando (1911-1944), 1941. Mullen took part in the Dieppe and Lofoten commando raids and was killed on D-Day, 6 June 1944. He is buried at the Hermanville War Cemetery near Caen.
After the fall of France in June 1940 the British established a small, but well-trained and highly mobile, raiding and reconnaissance force known as the Commandos. They were to carry on the war against the Axis after the evacuation from Dunkirk.
The Commando recruits were trained at special centres in Scotland. They learnt physical fitness, survival, orienteering, close quarter combat, silent killing, signalling, amphibious and cliff assault, vehicle operation, the handling of different weapons and demolition skills. Any man who failed to live up to the toughest requirements would be returned to unit (RTU).
The first small-scale Commando raids were of short duration and at night. Most were against coastal targets in Scandinavia, Northern France and the Channel Islands. Later they grew in complexity and size. Operations were also conducted in the Mediterranean theatre and in North Africa.); © National Army Museum

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "HMS Queen Emma, Commando assault ship, 1941" showcases the remarkable artwork by Lance Corporal Brian Joseph Mullen. Painted in oil on board, this masterpiece is housed at the National Army Museum in London. Mullen himself was a member of the Royal Engineers and No 4 Commando during World War II. He participated in significant commando raids such as Dieppe and Lofoten before tragically losing his life on D-Day in 1944. Today, he rests at the Hermanville War Cemetery near Caen. This painting immortalizes HMS Queen Emma, a vital asset for British forces during that time. Following France's fall in June 1940, Britain established an elite raiding and reconnaissance force known as the Commandos to continue their fight against Axis powers after Dunkirk's evacuation. Commando recruits underwent rigorous training at specialized centers in Scotland where they honed various skills like physical fitness, survival tactics, close quarter combat techniques, silent killing methods, amphibious assaults, vehicle operations, weapon handling proficiency, and demolition expertise. Those unable to meet these stringent requirements were returned to their units. Initially conducting small-scale night raids along coastal targets in Scandinavia and Northern France including Channel Islands; later operations grew both in complexity and size with missions carried out across Mediterranean theaters and North Africa. This historic photograph captures not only Mullen's artistic talent but also pays tribute to the bravery of those who served aboard HMS Queen Emma while shedding light on the crucial role played by British commandos during World War II.
