This story appeared today of a remarkable escape and an equally remarkable, though sad, coincidence. Apologies if this story is well known to you and for those annoying adverts: LORD ASHCROFT: How two SAS men escaped from a Nazi firing squad | Daily Mail Online
Curious to note this in the article: An expensive book now - according to Amazon, at £56.95p. Cheaper from New Zealand, even with P&P: Air Commando by Serge Vaculik - AbeBooks Those who did not escape are shown here: Private Thomas James (Tot) Barker - Cookstown War Dead
Thanks very much for the Cookstown article. There’s only one copy “within the UK” on Abe and it’s the most expensive. Had a quick look on Ebay (several French copies there) and up popped lots of those wonderful old Commando comic books that held me spellbound as a boy.
