Had the pleasure and Honour of being trained by this man as a young cadet with 15 Coy RGJ ACF WEST HAM ......He taught us a lot in a great way over a period of five years .......R.I.P. Scotty .
Interesting man, I could listen to him all day. We used to chuckle at the Veterans in the British Legion but if you listened to them they'd buy your beer. I wish I could go back and relive the conversation with these old boys who'd been through WW2, Korea and Suez. My Colour when I first joined up had been in Aden! We need to remember their stories and hear their own words for they will soon all be gone. Excellent short film.
What a fantastic gentleman , my late Grandfather was one of the first Volunteer Commando’s he was in Number 1 Commando he came from the Welsh Fusiliers to the Commando’s , the biggest mistake the Army made in 1946 was disbanding the The Army Commando’s , The SAS and The SBS . Luckily for us they kept the Royal Naval Commando Unit’s and they brought back the SAS & SBS .
My oldest uncle was in a Highland Commando. I wish I could know more about which one and their history in WWII. I do know he was through Sicily. His younger three brothers would travel to Achnacarry and I was told when they were at the train station, they would see these very dejected looking soldiers who were RTU'd and waiting for a train back to their original unit. That included men who were already U.S. Rangers so the bar was indeed pretty high.
Same instructors trained other Allied Forces' commandos, e.g. Polish 1. Separate Commando Company (in British files known as "No. 6 Troop"), which fought on the Italian Front. They also trained the elite Polish underground spies and fighters known as the "Silent Unseen" (the top elite of the entire world at that time). There were around 300 of them and actually only one has lived to this day. His 100. birthday was on January 8th and his name is *Aleksander Tarnawski* , I think there are some videos with him on YT with Eng subs, but no promise. P.S. Too bad the commando in the video died already. But let's pray for him. *Who dares, wins!*
proper raining. live ammo. troops killed, carried on.. get used to seeing buddies die. continue the mission. NO CEASE FIRE SAFETY STAND DOWN. EVERYBODY MEET THE CHAPLIN ALL HANDS CO MEETING, SGTMAJ COUNT EVERY ROUND...ect ect ect...train like you fight. you are not leaving anyone behind if you are moving forward. Hands down a proper warrior.
Lateral thinkers, required when conventional military strategies do not work.. Ask commandos to achieve a task, they ain’t playing by the rules, otherwise they wouldn’t need to exist.. They do, so have proven their necessity…
I have a distinct feeling that the words "Don't worry about that c*nt mate." Often was preceded by the phrase "Who dares, wins" or "Surprise, kill, vanish.".
yes it is. he was blown up by an '88' in Normandy. sgt maj Scott of 1group nel ACF. He was always going on about the war. He could empty a lee-enfield no 5 magazine in a few seconds. which is quite impressive if you've ever fired one. God bless you Sgt Maj .
No nonsense realist, with the battle scars to prove the bravery and the trial by fire. Moderns have no idea what they have seen, except those brave enough to pic up the banner in the Ukraine. Honor and thanks to them
Of course not. The Royal Marines took on the Commando role in 1948. Prior to that the Commando role was army which was disbanded after ww2, the thinking -albeit short lived- that they weren't needed. Check the history. If he was a Royal he would have a globe and laurel on his green lid. He might still have been a ww2 commando but I digress... there were commandos before the admiralty got the job and that fine warrior was one of them.

What years?
Must have been about 75 to 80
@@paulwebster7293 such an honor to learn from someone like that
The only problem with this guy is there aren't enough videos. I could listen to this guy till the cows come home.
yeah i want th full unedited interview
This is one of those old dudes that will still put a young man in the ground. He's wearing that uniform because at heart he'll always be a soldier.

Stan Scott, he was our cadet training sergeant
@@denfitzpatrick5988 You lucky F8CKER!!!
When in the bars and Legions here in Canada I'd buy THEM a beer!!!
What a Man, what a Warrior. Thank God he was on our side. A real icon. God bless him.
I absolutely love this man's storytelling. Brutal, matter of fact, didn't relish the violence but doesn't sugarcoat it one bit.
real training produces quality fighters. a true hero,died a while back, history will miss him.
This gentleman is really sound, makes history really interesting to listen too.
How can you tell?? I can barely understand him.... :|
Thanks for all your sacrifice. Without rogues like this chap we would have lost the war.
Kind of dude who made the Kraut check their closet at night.
The more I listen the more I understand.
I am fascinated by this man's story.
I could listen to him forever.
🇺🇸💓⭐👊🏻
RIP, great man.
what an absolute legend of a bloke

Sgt Stan has such a great memory. So good to have it all recorded. I wonder if he is still around?

A real true east ender commando!!
This chap belongs in “Rigue Heroes”
This man could drill me and yell at me and I would learn. Thank you sir. Sir thank you sir.
Respect. 👌

He is amazing, I wonder if he’s still alive?
some comments say he died like 6y ago

Seen the latest UA-cam advert for whatever it is We’re brave we’re bold. You know the one.
Don’t think they really know the meaning of them two words
Yep. Not seen the advert but the world is full of utter snowflakes these days. Some people expect life handed to them on a plate.
Is his right eye a fake one? Also this man is a hero.
yes it is. he was blown up by an '88' in Normandy. sgt maj Scott of 1group nel ACF. He was always going on about the war. He could empty a lee-enfield no 5 magazine in a few seconds. which is quite impressive if you've ever fired one. God bless you Sgt Maj .
Gent is so non plus about the whole thing. Stone cold killer. Whoever has an entire battalion of these guys wins.
If this guy looks like this now, I wonder how he looked in his thirties. Not an enemy to have.
Hes got an interesting take on knife skills also ,was big on training so to speak lol
Regimental badge from the Army, the Royal Marines like to take credit for the Commandos.

The worlds first special forces
Subtitles would be useful. Good vid!
Faakin wot?!
Well, you can now turn them on if you'd like them.
A lot changed in 9 years. I found it helpful as well for terms like bugeroo that I'm not used to.
@@onpsxmember waaaoww blast from the past!!!
i read my commando comic i my tent nice high and dry then cuddle up to sleep ................................
what language is he speaking?
+remchuck Well it certainly isn't american. It is one of the home counties English dialects.
+remchuck He is speaking English with an East London accent
Paul Kyle Thats it! Yes!
Cockney.
He is speaking common sense with a.bit of an east end post code on it or similar.(London)
training as it should be. losses are acceptable
You wouldn't think that if you were one of the casualties.
Puts us couch potatoes and armchair generals to shame.
Nonsenses. Crazy..
Commando? He's no Royal Marine!!
Of course not. The Royal Marines took on the Commando role in 1948. Prior to that the Commando role was army which was disbanded after ww2, the thinking -albeit short lived- that they weren't needed.
