British Royal Marine Unit Renamed After a World War II Commando Group Founded by James Bond Creator Ian Fleming

The BBC reports that a British Royal Marine unit in Devon was renamed after a World War II intelligence gathering commando group, 30 Assault Unit, which was founded by Royal Navy Commander Ian Fleming (seen in the below photo).

Fleming, of course, went on to write Goldfinger, From Russia With Love, Dr No and other James Bond thrillers after the war.
