I can but to be honest it’s like all the books I have read about that sort of think are all jumbled up in my head. Guess I will have to read them again but maybe not the older ones as some of them don’t always tell the truth about stuff

It's a common belief. I think it probably comes from poorly chosen wording. LRDG founded in 1940 - so you might hear it described in books as the forerunner of the SAS or something like that.
 
Anyone who says that they are or were in the SAS would know the answer to the question ........What color is the boat house in Hereford...?:sisi:

My mate was in special forces, he never adjusted to civilian life. He did some freelance work for the military but it was not a good deal. He was sent into a war zone to take photographs..

"PHOTOGRAPHS?!?"
"Yes, photographs!" Replied the colonel.
..of possible pow camps
All he wanted was for his country to love him as much as he loved it.
Ended up catching snakes for a living

I use to be in the sas years ago ask the Mrs sexy and stupid but she sorted the stupid side out 43 know still got the one s in my mind anyway
 
Sterling was the founder of the now named sas. Back then it was called L detachment. They worked with Lrdg initially and were made from commandos. Quite interesting what went on at the beginning. Formed in ww2 fighting afrika corps in the likes of Libya and egypt. The Lrdg helped them get across the desert in and out of enemy lines. Churchills sin also served with them partially until he broke 3 vertebrae in a car accident that the founder sterling was driving.

Was lucky enough to meet a man a few years ago who served in sas. Became quite good pals. He told me a few things what he'd been through including getting captured. Living through what he did he died 2 years ago to cancer. Shame really
