    One of the bravest men ever to have lived . And never received George cross despite being nominated four times . Look him up

      Yea hard to believe that he was turned down Geordie.But at least his home town pays tribute to him.And only for the war he would have made it to the top in rugby👍

    A brave man which was treated badley for his brave leadership in the sas in ww2 a man which served under him told me he should have been awarded the vc not once but ten times over there was many brave men in the war but lieutenant colonel blair mayne stood out!

      @@markporter-thechurchhistor6784 read a book where paddy and a volunteer ran the gauntlet to save some comrades and ran it again so no one was left behind… I’m sure he was stripped of a medal even though he changed the course of parts of the war
