Original obituary...

[Edited - 'dead' image removed] Only one Original remained: Jimmy Storie, aged 92, and he sadly died last month; I wasn't aware until today. He was the last surviving member of "The Originals", a handful of men who in WW2 in North Africa became 'L' Detachment, the unit that would develop into the Special Air Service Regiment. And to quote Lord Ashcroft "...what a remarkable life he enjoyed especially as – given the incredibly dangerous nature of his missions – the odds were firmly stacked against him ever seeing his 30th birthday, let alone birthdays into his 90s."

"I agree to carry out arduous duties with no recognition, no rewards, no promotions, and no medals"
