Those are the eyes of a man who killed more Krauts than cancer

Instead of a thousand yard stare, he has like a one yard stare. And he’s staring at you. With a hatchet in his hand.

Another raid was on the airfield at Sidi Haneish, which involved astro-navigating 18 Jeeps across 70 miles of desert without lights or maps. Sadler delivered them to within a mile of the runway. Firing about 26,000 rounds of ammunition from their Vickers machine guns, they destroyed an estimated 37 aircraft in a spectacular display which he photographed (unfortunately, his camera and film were stolen later in the war). During the escape they inadvertently drove through the German column that was pursuing them – “They were standing around their vehicles… They were not alert… I drove through German columns a few times.”
A highlight of the article, thanks for the link.

Buy and read Rogue Heroes. Best book on the founding of the SAS.

And he was in his 20s in age. Sometimes I forget how young these leaders were in the field.

Great article. I’ve read books about the LRDG, and remember his role in navigating for raids. What an amazing life he led.
