I found out today is the anniversary of the Battle of Mirbat (19/07/72) and during a read of a tribute I noted that the SAS lost two troopers during the battle.
One leapt out at me as having a rather unique background. Trooper Thomas Tobin had joined the SAS from the Army Catering Corps and served with B Squadron.
He was killed in the gun pit at Mirbat and was posthumously awarded the DCM.
It got me wondering if this was the most unusual "route" into the SAS?
