I wasn’t Involved in the embassy siege - but I well remember my 29th birthday, as it was the day the Second World War ended.
I was the youngest who joined up in 1957 the year before I was born and was sent in through the front door acting as a plumber or was it electrician can’t remember now.But most of the others involved that day were actually WW1 veterans who’d joined up in 1914 and who told me that the SAS was actually formed during the battle of the Somme but it had to be kept secret.
I’m thinking of maybe going back to driving trucks when I’m 90 and have had some time to enjoy my retirement for a while.
