Hello,
For your information and just to save any confusion, 'An Ungentlemanly Act' is written by a UK author who uses UK spelling. For example 'color' is 'colour', 'specialize' is 'specialise' and 'jail' is 'gaol'. There are many more examples of UK spelling contained within the book which may possibly be misinterpreted as mistakes. This is not the case.
Thank you.

Department Seven was raised in 1941 after the British prime minister, Winston
Churchill, ordered the establishment of an ultra secret branch of the
existing intelligence apparatus to take the fight to the enemy with a ferocity so brutal it would shake
them to their very core. Department Sevens brief was simple, to
assemble a team of men who were capable of carrying out extreme acts
of violence under the most challenging of circumstances. In
Churchill's own words "Dangerous operations are best undertaken
by dangerous men so I want cut-throats and brigands of the most
bloodthirsty kind who will strike at the black heart of the beast,
butchering the Nazis and their allies wherever they rear their ugly
heads with no thought for compassion nor quarter".
Operating far beyond the
normal remit of secret operations, Department Seven soon established
its reputation as an instrument of death, with assassination and sabotage as its watchwords, to be called upon when only the most
extreme of measures were required.

Harry Flynn was a member of the Special Service Brigade, the British Army's commando formation which was established in 1940. Entry requirements were stringent and training the toughest in the the world. The men of the Special Service Brigade trained in physical fitness, survival, orienteering, close-quarter combat, silent killing, signalling, amphibious and cliff assault, motor vehicle operation, weapons (including the use of captured enemy small-arms) and demolition. Many officers, NCOs and trainee instructors initially attended various courses at the all forces Special Training Centre at Lochailort in Scotland. Also in the Scottish Highlands, Combined Operations established a substantial all forces amphibious training centre at Inveraray and in 1942 a specific Commando Training Centre at Achnacarry near Spean Bridge. All field training was conducted with live ammunition.
These men of action were the natural candidates for Department Seven. Tough, highly trained, self motivated and resourceful, the commando units were combed in search of men of a 'particularly adventurous nature' who could speak French & possibly German.
In spite of the exceptionally high standards set by the Commandos of those who made it onto the D7 training programme, many fell by the wayside. Leaving only the very best of the very best to be accepted for Department Sevens live operations.
