'Huckabuck' was a British special forces reconnaissance raid by 10 men of the Small Scale Raiding Force against the German positions on the island of Herm in the German-occupied Channel Islands (27/28 February 1943).

'Huckaback' was originally designed as a raid on Herm, Jethou and Brecqhou, but instead became a raid only on Herm on the night of 27 February 1943 after an earlier attempt had been aborted. Ten men of the Small Scale Raiding Force and No. 4 Commando, under the command of Captain Patrick Anthony Porteous, landed 200 yards (185 m) to the north-west of Selle Rocque on a shingle beach, and made two unsuccessful attempts to climb the cliff in front of them. Porteous finally managed to climb up the bed of a stream and pulled the others up with a rope.

On reaching Belvoir House, the raiding party found it had been broken into and abandoned. Further reconnaissance established that the Old Tower of Herm and the Château were also deserted. The raid found no sign of the German occupation forces or the island’s population. The caretaker of Belvoir house was aware of people on the island, but locked the door. Leaflets were left for the Germans to find. The commandos departed and returned to England.

The few civilians left on the island were living near the harbour and at the time were unaware of the raid.
