Paddy Mayne changed the art of war.When going on a task to do as much damage as possible to the enemy,he didn't take the " officer and a gentleman" ideology with him. He saw every single piece of equipment and materials and personnel as an asset to the enemy...... for example, going deep behind enemy lines and assaulting an airfield he had no problems blowing up the aircraft and storage buildings ,nor did he have a problem bursting into a mess hall or living areas and killing everyone in sight ( eating, sleeping armed or not) because aircraft technicians were just as much part of the objective as any aircraft........ As far as he was concerned keeping the enemy on the ground saved British and commonwealth troops lives......... Paddy and the SAS troops were just as much responsible for the victory in north Africa as Field Marshal Montgomery.......

Yet another fellow Ulsterman to be proud of! ❤

Now THAT is what I would call a treasure chest... to sit down and go through Paddy's war, his inner thoughts and the things HE considered important enough to keep... that's priceless.

What a warrior and what a find😮

It's still a disgrace that one of the finest soldiers to ever wear the British army uniform never got the V.C.

Unfortunately the 'establishment' of the UK is stuck in the era of empire and dislike all who dare and win if they don't kiss certain arses. T.E. Lawrence also should have gotten the V.C. (Lawrence of Arabia as he's better known).

Played rugby for the lions as well😮😮

Fookin legend

Sterling created the SAS, Mayne defined what it was to be part of the regiment

He really was..The Mayne Man.

A true Northern Irish and British hero! Took over command of the SAS after David Sterling's capture, a huge undertaking considering he didn't have Sterling's contacts, or political savvy. Yet, he overcomes this maintaining the regiment while missing being constantly in the field.

I hope they make a realistic film version of his life. They have the information to write it with. That would be epic

PADDY was also a leading member of the "AA" team set up in malvern before the SAS moved into Hereford .To this day the chances are the "AA" still exist .They are along the lines of the "feather men" but a lot more genuine :-)

Ex Squaddie and he's one of our greatest warriors, worthy of 2 maybe 3 VC's but not given due to his behaviour in the mess's he attended. RIP Sir.

Paddy Mayne, we all looked up to him.

I had the pleasure to meet an old lady who remembered being bounced on his knee when she was a child. She said he was a very ordinary and quiet likeable man. Some warrior though.

There must have been a box somewhere of *other' items he kept from the enemy paddy wasnt one to hand in his "souvenirs" especially the most usefull ones, they'll still be hidden somewhere only he knew

It's definitely not Phil Campion.

Paddy Blair Mayne. 1915-1955. Our man Paddy was technically Scots-Irish. Half Scots half Irish. His middle name Blair comes from his first Cousin Robert Blair a Scottish soldier who fought in British Army during WW1. 🇮🇪 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Lots of Irish moved to Scotland in early 1900s and lots of Scottish folks moved to Ireland in early 1900s to farm Northern Ireland etc. 🇮🇪

Newtownards’ finest

He was a rugby player. The game is played by gentlemen (I don't mean toffs, I mean people who treat players and supporters off the pitch as equal human beings). Once on the pitch, especially pre professionalism, anything went; biting ears off, gouging eyes, stamping on players with metal studs, clothes lining, spear tackling or just plain old booting them in the plums and upper cutting them as they double over (out of the refs vision obvs!). I wonder if that formed his combat ethos or contributed to it, or had nothing to do with it and he was just good at both things?

Cool

There is an investigation into the SAS for war crimes, why? Also why do you delete comments that tell the truth rather than engage. I know why you won't because the truth is indefensible.

@SuperTyrannical1

That presumes you know what the truth is. An investigation alone is not proof of anything. The investigation hinges on the claims of their enemies. So all we actually know is that people who used to be their enemy who dont like them said they did something bad. Well I guess it has to be true. Imagine a justice system that worked that way... 😐
