Any LRDG members still alive?

[gazzaw]

Hi

 

As part of my research for a forthcoming documentary does any know of any surviving members of the LRDG who may be available for interviewing? I am trying to get some information as to navigation, SOPs, routine and daily life on patrols etc.

 

thanks

No Sorry, ours is still a year away- the amount of research and trying to find LRDG/Early desert SAS continues and time running out as these vets grow older.
