Prince William Pays Tribute to Last Wartime SAS 'Original'
Prince William paid his respects at the funeral of Major Mike Sadler, the last surviving original soldier of the SAS, who passed away at the remarkable age of 103 in January.
A Remarkable Career Spanning Various Roles
Major Mike Sadler led an extraordinary life, serving as a farmer, sailor, soldier, and spy. His achievements included parachuting into France post-D-Day, working for MI6, and even having part of the Antarctic named after him.
Chief Navigator to SAS Founder David Stirling
