Thankyou very much, very kind. Different breed of people then! Got a chap to look into his war record, Africa, Italy, Burma retired after the Malaysia emergency.
Tiger would have had adapted air filter to cope with the sand.
Yes, those people were put into a very difficult situation.
I knew a very nice gentleman who said very little to me of his war experience, except he told me so many men died.
I discovered he was one of the first to land as an engineer the night before D - Day and his was an incredible story.
If you haven't read about Blair Mayne, the SAS Colonel, do so. He came from Newtownards here, was a Rugby international, a Lawyer and was a founding member of the SAS.
