Mary Kenny: 'SAS Rogue Hero' Paddy Mayne and his wild nights out with his friend, my brother, in 1950s Dublin
Briefly

As the 80th anniversary of World War II approaches, veterans are remembered, including Robert 'Paddy' Blair Mayne, an Ulsterman celebrated for his extraordinary courage and leadership in founding and leading the SAS. His valor during the conflict has earned him a distinguished legacy, yet his contributions to military history remain insufficiently acknowledged in contemporary discourses surrounding wartime valor and heroism. The article calls for reevaluation and recognition of such figures in honoring past sacrifices.
Robert 'Paddy' Blair Mayne, regarded as 'one of the greatest front-line soldiers of all time', played a pivotal role in the establishment and leadership of the wartime SAS.
As the 80th anniversary of World War II approaches, it's essential to remember heroes like Mayne who exemplified extraordinary bravery and leadership.
