the later ramping up of commando recruitment diluted the training - my grandfather described it as being made to feel special through additional courses in motor-cycles so as to be willing to participate in whatever crazy "commando" raid was suggested later
I read of these men since I was a child… their deeds and actions in the darkest and hardest of the years…, are well beyond belief… the absolutely unreasonable stands they took and made kept the UK and all of us in the commonwealth & allies.., going and possible.., allowing our nation to get on the our feet..
Part of the rich History of the Commandos. What a character, what a man.
Proper plain talking fella. 10/10
This bloke is wonderful. I love this.
Toughness oozes through this man. Hero
Another anonymous coward commenting on someone who has the minimal fortitude to use his real bloody name!
Wonderful man !

This man is the real deal
Brilliant old warrior.
Thanks for uploading this. My grandpa's where in the navy themselves. Tough guys.
A great record of an amazing man.
Thanks for making these, they were very interesting.

He is wearing insignia of Commando Veterans Association which I have just joined, this is a cracking man!
Sure you have.🙄
I wonder if he knew Hamish Henderson, British intelligence who landed first on Sicily and also took the surrender of Salerno ?
Is there a way to watch the full interview?
still looks hard as nails
He was a National Treasure. Shame that the Brits dont have a Nation anymore.
If you're in London.
Go anywhere else and it's totally normal and fine. Britain and London are separate entities.
No one had a nation anymore. They’re illusions controlled by wealthy bankers, and wealthy powerful families. New world order?
What a great bloke. I hope he is still alive and well. Long live the Green Lids.
Sadly, he has passed...
@@georgebuller1914 thanks, a great man and inspiration.
top man...
Yes, i am standing....and dubba you too.
'I 'ad to dispose of the body...so I ate 'im...'
I'll bet this guy doesn't shop at whole foods.
Stan was so tough he decided when he wanted to be hungry.
