Somewhere in the depths of HORT there is a Lucas80 book review of Rogue Heroes, by Ben MacIntyre, a book about the formation of the SAS in North Africa during WW2. Sadler was one of the originals, recruited in a bar as he went on to another assignment. Never much of a fighter, Sadler was a driver and navigator who led missions deep into Axis territory that to this day read like movie scripts due to their audacity and spectacular results.
Sadler went on to fight with the SAS in France. Never much for formality or structure, he felt at home in the early SAS with its emphasis on camaraderie and action. After the victory by the Allies, Sadler moved on to working for MI6 in the Cold War.

Have this book from decades ago and it is an entertaining read about their exploits.
Who Dares Wins!
