Mike Sadler RIP

A truly heroic figure.

The last surviving member of the original LRDG/SAS days.

Aged 103.

The guy was a genius at navigation in featureless terrain such as the desert and later in antarctica.

RIP sir

Re: Mike Sadler RIP

Here's a very comprehensive obituary from - of all places - The New York Times.

It is well written and does him justice.

Well done Mike. You dictated when you died, not Hitler or even God.

Enjoy your long lie down and rest in peace.

Quite a man... fully done justice in the Ben McIntyre book.... less so in that PC woke effort that the BBC put out last year... RIP Major Mike... one of the greatest in the greatest of generations...
