Lieutenant Colonel Robert Blair ‘Paddy’ Mayne, DSO***

 

Paddy was a British army soldier from Newtownards, capped for Ireland and the British Lions (1938 tour of South Africa) at rugby union, lawyer, amateur boxer and one of the founding members of the SAS.

During the course of the Second World War, he became one of the British Army’s most highly decorated soldiers.  Described by many as a fearless warrior and leader with a rouge streak. 
The original ‘misfit that fits.’
