Correct! Sadler was originally LRDG and joined the SAS. I believe he is still alive today, well over 90!
Cheers, Johan |

To be even more precise, he was originally 4 Rhodesian Anti-Tank Battery, hence the Rhodesia shoulder tab.

The officer in the photo with Paddy Mayne and Roy Farran is Lt Col L E O Hart, from SAS Brigade HQ, (later 2IC 21SAS).

Lt Col Hart
Full name Lemon Evelyn Oliver Turton Hart, known as Pat and sometimes called Leo Hart. It's interesting that he was a temporary Lt Col in 1945 but is still wearing just his Major's crown in the photo.

Lt Col L E O Hart, from SAS Brigade HQ, (later 2IC 21SAS).
Hello all,
I have the NO1 Dress belonging to Lt Col L E O Hart, from his time as a Lt Col in 21 (One assumes) Does anyone have any original photos of him they can scan for me to put alongside? If anyone has any items of his from his time in WW2 please PM me. KR Jon |
