General Dare Wilson saw action in France 1940 (Dunkirk), Italy and North West Europe (where he won his MC) with the Northumberland Fusiliers and later the Recce Regiment. He then served in Palestine and Korea which he rates as the most vicious war he fought in. He was picked to command 22 SAS and was responsible for basing them at Hereford. He went on to fight the Mau Mau in Kenya and was in the last party to leave Aden when we withdrew in 1968. This is a comprehensive account of Wilson's amazing life.
