In 1940 he volunteers to join the newly formed commandos. He begins his service with the commandos with the 4th Commando. Derek serves with the unit as second in command. Together with the unit he takes part in the raid on the Lofoten Islands in 1941 and participates in the raid on Dieppe in 1942.


In late 1942 he is given command of the 6th Commandos in North Africa, Algiers, and is made a lieutenant colonel. Together with this unit he participates in the Normandy landings as well as in the liberation of the concentration camp at Bergen Belsen. On 5 June 1945 he becomes a retired brigadier general and takes command of the 1st Special Services Brigade later 1st Commando Brigade (1st Special Service Brigade (later 1st Commando Brigade)) and holds this post until the end of the war.
