Primal Bushcraft Survival

Brilliant. Absolutely. In one. 🙏

Good to see SAS hero Alec 'Boy' Borrie's story getting publicised up so widely. We remember them.🙏tinyurl.com/4s2kectd

In October 1945, the Special Air Service would be summarily disbanded, Lt-Col Blair Paddy Mayne being forced to take the final salute and march past. As SAS original Reg Seekings would lament, ‘It was like the bottom dropping out of the world. You were lost.’ Or, as John Randall, the first man into Belsen concentration camp would write, ‘There would be no more “Lili Marlene” around an old piano now; no Padre McLuskey at the keyboard; no James McDiarmid (pictured) doing his “Puddle Dance”’ (a riotous variation of the Scottish sword dance, with booze, puddles and getting soaked to the skin thrown in). Or, as Mayne himself would write to his mother at the time, it was ‘all rather despondent. Saying goodbye is never a pleasant thing.’ My new book, SAS Daggers Drawn, tells of their battles for France and Germany, summer '44 - spring '45, and of their wider battle to survive as a unit. It is out next week - 24/10/24. (Photo @I_W_M McDiarmid James IWM E21348) geni.us/SASDaggersDrawn
