RASC SAS Photo
To be wearing wings on his chest as opposed to his arm he would have had to be awarded them during WW2 which would indicate WW2 service with the Regiment. So far I have not been able to come up with a gallentry award to anyone of that name who was a member of the SAS during WW2.
The maroon beret doen't really help much as 2 SAS always wore it and eventually all members of 1 SAS did with a few notable exceptions Paddy Mayne being the main one.
There is a list of approx 8 men who were entitled to wear SAS wings on their chest post WW2 but he doesn't appear on this. Although a number of WW2 members did although they were quickly told to move them by the various RSM's of the Regiments they went to after the SAS was disbanded in October/ November 1945.
