Sadly, the last known surviving WW2 veteran of the SAS, Matthew "Matt/Jock" Mackinnon-Pattison died on Thursday 5th November aged 102years. We remember Matthew. Here is a summary of Matthew's wartime service. Please share widely: Matt MacKinnon Pattison was among hundreds of diers who fought Germans in Italy in the spring of 1944.
Sometimes remembered as the "D-Day Dodgers", in reference to their role away from Normandy, men in Italy faced brutal conditions as they battled to take Monte Cassino and dislodge enemy soldiers.
"We came back from Italy having flogged ourselves to pieces, nervous wrecks, and people say 'where were you on D-Day?'" said Matt, from Penrith, Cumbria.
"We just say we were busy bloody well fighting."
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill thought of Italy as the "soft underbelly" of Nazi-dominated Europe, but the campaign there proved difficult and costly.
With perhaps typical military irony, the men in Italy adopted the "D-Day Dodgers" moniker, even creating a song to the tune of Lili Marleen, a famous wartime melody.
"We are the D-Day Dodgers in sunny Italy," rang the chorus.
But this was no sojourn in the sun and the Allied forces knew it.
Enemy soldiers were dug in on defensive lines across the country, and at Monte Cassino it took four separate attacks from US, British, Polish and Commonwealth forces to destroy and take the hilltop monastery.
Matt still has razor-sharp memories of the battles he fought, and the comrades he lost.
He fled agricultural service in Kilmarnock as a teenager to get to Glasgow to enlist as an infantryman before ending up "right in the forefront" of the battle for Monte Cassino.
Advancing up the slopes amid the fog of deadly artillery bomb blasts and the continual crackle of gunfire, the soldier saw many of his comrades fall.
But, he said, there was no time to be frightened.
"You donโt look upon it as bravery, you just look at it as part of your life," he told the BBC.
"When the officers told you to advance, that was what you had to do.
"Every battle is the same. You get pounded to death, whether it was Normandy, Burma or anywhere."
Matt was recruited for the SAS after being injured and taken to a Naples hospital to recover.
From 100 candidates, he was just one of 10 that made it. He was dropped behind enemy lines near Genoa, tasked with finding Italian dictator Mussolini who by then had been captured by partisans.
Once the war was over, he was sent to Germany as part of the War Crimes Unit to find Nazi suspects who had executed captured members of the SAS.
There, he said, he saw a broken nation, but people "just like us".
Eight decades on, he can clearly recall the claustrophobic horror of war, from German soldiers playing dead to entice Allied soldiers into shooting range, to landmines and enormous loss.
"I lost a lot of my mates, especially one called Ginger," he said.
"And when he died he was sitting in a trench with his head down. There was a smile on his face."
"Still a smile on his face that marked the place where he and his maker met.
"And that was Ginger. He was a good lad."
Dodging D-Day was no pass, and so many thousands paid the ultimate price in Italy.
In his flat, Matt still has his SAS beret, his medals and his memories.
He also has his nationโs thanks.

According to psychics, Mrs. Miller will be his downfall.
For entertainment purposes only ๐
For entertainment purposes only ๐
Stephen Miller becomes White House Chief of Staff tomorrow, and from where Iโm sitting, it looks like the man about to run the White House was bought and paid for before he walked in the door. I followed the money around him and his wife Katie, and it leads to Elon Musk, a bbyists, her fatherโs mailbox and investors nobody is allowed to see.
Full article is up on my Substack now (link in bio and it's free). Highlights below:
๐ฉ Red Flag 1: A dark money group funded by Elon Musk sent $43 million to a group that Millerโs own charity controls. That is Musk money flowing into Millerโs political machine, and none of it has to be disclosed to you.
๐ฉ Red Flag 2: Muskโs super PAC paid Katie Millerโs firm $884,367, and some of that money came while she was working beside him at DOGE. She was on his payroll and inside the government at the same time.
๐ฉ Red Flag 3: Katie bought more than $1 million of stock in Muskโs AI company one business day before the Pentagon announced it would use that AI. The trade was never reported, and the rules say it should have been.
๐ฉ Red Flag 4: Abu Dhabiโs state AI fund owns a piece of that same company. Eight days before Miller got the job, a firm in the same consulting group Katie came from signed a $100,000-a-month contract with the UAE. So, a foreign government now has money on both sides of this household.
๐ฉ Red Flag 5: Miller was paid $202,000 through a family company listed in his father-in-lawโs name. Its clients were the Trump campaign and the Trump-Vance transition, and the transition still wonโt say who its donors are. So we donโt know whose money paid him (owns him).
๐ฉ Red Flag 6: The dark money group Millerโs charity controls paid $156,000 to Borglum LLC, a company with no Florida registration and no named owner. Its address was box 361, the same mailbox as that family company. Based on the records, I think that donor money landed with the Millers.
๐ฉ Red Flag 7: Katie Millerโs podcast gets about 15,000 views an episode, yet her podcast company has 3,333,333 preferred shares for investors who never have to be named. Nobody puts money into a 15,000-view podcast for the ratings. So who bought in, and what did they get?
๐ฉ Red Flag 8: About $1.4 million in their kidsโ accounts disappears from his ethics form with no sale reported, and a sale of stock in a Pentagon-backed company was reported at less than half of what it was worth. That form is the only way the public can see what the Chief of Staff owns, and it doesnโt match the money.
Any one of these might have an innocent explanation. But eight of them around the most powerful staffer in the White House shows a pattern, and the public deserves to know who is paying him.
The full article is up now on my Substack (link in bio) with every receipt, including the filings, the mailbox records and the UAE contract.
Enjoy!

Rep. Henry Cuellar was indicted on multiple counts of bribery before receiving a pardon from Trump.
So no, he should not be placed in any leadership position on any committee, especially one that oversees national security.
