After Seeing Action In Syria In the opinion of The Commandos, He Joined The New Unit That David Stirling Was Establishing, The Special Air Service. Ths Raids Mayne Led In The Western Desert Destroyed Throughout One Hundred Enemy Aircraft On The Ground.

Mayne Subsequently Led The Unit In Italy, France And Germany, Winning A Further Bar To The Dso In Each Of These Campajgns, As Well As The Croix De Guerre And The Legion D'honneur.

Soon Hind His Death, Misinformation Concerning Mayne Began To Appear. He Was Portrayed Variously As A Classical Tragic Hero Of Drama, And AM an Of Anger And Aggression.

It Has The Support Of The Mayne Family And The Sas Regimental Association. Hamish Ross Strips Away The Lefend And Leaves Mayne Not Diminished But Enhanced.
