Did anyone get the veterans name? I think there may be post war SAS service given the SPECIAL AIR SERVICE Title and design of SAS Wing included in the group. Great grouping. - thanks for sharing Mike Last edited by Mike B; 27-04-20 at 08:33 PM. |

M Detachment
Special Boat Squadron
Barrie Pitt Century Publishing 1983 Page 64 ‘Obviously with so high a degree of individuality in so small a compass there were differences of opinion. Fitzroy Maclean’s M Detachment when it arrived showed a predilection for the emblems and insignia of military life which excited a certain amount of derision at first among the other detachments’ In addition on Page 123 of the same book Sergeant ‘Tanky’ Geary is mentioned in action during a raid on Simi by Lieutenant Bob Bury’s patrol. |

Interesting lot, trying, but failing to make out the sleeve badge, bottom left in the group photo |

On that basis the valuation for the whole collection - not just the SAS/SBS group - was way under (as usual).
