The only problem with this guy is there aren't enough videos. I could listen to this guy till the cows come home.

Had the pleasure and Honour of being trained by this man as a young cadet with 15 Coy RGJ ACF WEST HAM ......He taught us a lot in a great way over a period of five years .......R.I.P. Scotty .

This is one of those old dudes that will still put a young man in the ground. He's wearing that uniform because at heart he'll always be a soldier.

Interesting man, I could listen to him all day. We used to chuckle at the Veterans in the British Legion but if you listened to them they'd buy your beer. I wish I could go back and relive the conversation with these old boys who'd been through WW2, Korea and Suez. My Colour when I first joined up had been in Aden! We need to remember their stories and hear their own words for they will soon all be gone. Excellent short film.

I absolutely love this man's storytelling. Brutal, matter of fact, didn't relish the violence but doesn't sugarcoat it one bit.

real training produces quality fighters. a true hero,died a while back, history will miss him.

Thanks for all your sacrifice. Without rogues like this chap we would have lost the war.

This gentleman is really sound, makes history really interesting to listen too.

What a Man, what a Warrior. Thank God he was on our side. A real icon. God bless him.

What a fantastic gentleman , my late Grandfather was one of the first Volunteer Commando’s he was in Number 1 Commando he came from the Welsh Fusiliers to the Commando’s , the biggest mistake the Army made in 1946 was disbanding the The Army Commando’s , The SAS and The SBS . Luckily for us they kept the Royal Naval Commando Unit’s and they brought back the SAS & SBS .

what an absolute legend of a bloke

RIP, great man.

My oldest uncle was in a Highland Commando. I wish I could know more about which one and their history in WWII. I do know he was through Sicily. His younger three brothers would travel to Achnacarry and I was told when they were at the train station, they would see these very dejected looking soldiers who were RTU'd and waiting for a train back to their original unit. That included men who were already U.S. Rangers so the bar was indeed pretty high.

Sgt Stan has such a great memory. So good to have it all recorded. I wonder if he is still around?

This man could drill me and yell at me and I would learn. Thank you sir. Sir thank you sir.

Reminds Me of my Grandpa. R.M. Sgt/M. Normandy Veteran. 🇬🇧 DaiRyu 🐉

The old film of the commandoes training is something to see - they really were double-hard bastards

A real true east ender commando!!

proper raining. live ammo. troops killed, carried on.. get used to seeing buddies die. continue the mission. NO CEASE FIRE SAFETY STAND DOWN. EVERYBODY MEET THE CHAPLIN ALL HANDS CO MEETING, SGTMAJ COUNT EVERY ROUND...ect ect ect...train like you fight. you are not leaving anyone behind if you are moving forward. Hands down a proper warrior.

Same instructors trained other Allied Forces' commandos, e.g. Polish 1. Separate Commando Company (in British files known as "No. 6 Troop"), which fought on the Italian Front. They also trained the elite Polish underground spies and fighters known as the "Silent Unseen" (the top elite of the entire world at that time). There were around 300 of them and actually only one has lived to this day. His 100. birthday was on January 8th and his name is *Aleksander Tarnawski* , I think there are some videos with him on YT with Eng subs, but no promise. P.S. Too bad the commando in the video died already. But let's pray for him. *Who dares, wins!*

Respect. 👌

Lateral thinkers, required when conventional military strategies do not work.. Ask commandos to achieve a task, they ain’t playing by the rules, otherwise they wouldn’t need to exist.. They do, so have proven their necessity…

Is his right eye a fake one? Also this man is a hero.

He is amazing, I wonder if he’s still alive?

Gent is so non plus about the whole thing. Stone cold killer. Whoever has an entire battalion of these guys wins.

I have a distinct feeling that the words "Don't worry about that c*nt mate." Often was preceded by the phrase "Who dares, wins" or "Surprise, kill, vanish.".

If this guy looks like this now, I wonder how he looked in his thirties. Not an enemy to have.

Regimental badge from the Army, the Royal Marines like to take credit for the Commandos.

Seen the latest KZfaq advert for whatever it is We’re brave we’re bold. You know the one. Don’t think they really know the meaning of them two words

The worlds first special forces

No nonsense realist, with the battle scars to prove the bravery and the trial by fire. Moderns have no idea what they have seen, except those brave enough to pic up the banner in the Ukraine. Honor and thanks to them

i read my commando comic i my tent nice high and dry then cuddle up to sleep ................................

Subtitles would be useful. Good vid!

training as it should be. losses are acceptable

what language is he speaking?

Puts us couch potatoes and armchair generals to shame.

Nonsenses. Crazy..

Commando? He's no Royal Marine!!
