Friends at A Coy ReMSO, 6 Scots, are spearheading a new memorial to Lt. Col. Blair Paddy Mayne, DSO and three bars, Legion d'Honneur, Croix de Guerre, 1915-1955. It is to commemorate Mayne and the men of No. 11 Commando, and for those who went on to join the SAS. Mayne was a soldier, an athlete, a scholar and a legend. Most of all he was a revered leader of men. Having trained and fought with No. 11 Commando, he went on to be a founder member of the SAS, and to command 1 SAS for much of the war, after SAS founder David Stirling's capture by the enemy. This memorial is designed to celebrate Mayne - and the Commandos and SAS's - links to Galashiels, wherein they recruited and commenced their punishing route marches to the Isle of Arran, during early Commando training. More updates shortly - please spread the word and show your support. Thank you. (Photo courtesy of the Mayne family).

Steve McQueen suggested to Chuck Norris he should try a career in the movie industry! It turned out to be a very good suggestion! Rest in peace, Chuck, duty done.

@usairforce veteran Chuck Norris 🇺🇸 passed away earlier today. He joined the USAF in 1958 as an Air Policeman and was posted to Tang Soo Do in South Korea and left the service in 1962 as an Airman First Class. His interest in martial arts began there in South Korea. #Chuck
