ONE-WAY TICKET
FOR MEMBERS OF RAIDING COMMANDOS. “I’ve been reading a book, ‘We Landed at Dawn.’ It’s about the big combined operations raid on Dieppe by a man who was there with one of the commandos. “I like the cool realistic way Wing Commander Austin begins. ‘When you go on a raid,’ he says, ‘the War Office buys you a single ticket from London to the coast ... As a hard-pressed taxpayer, Austin approved this habit of the War Office providing soldiers who go on raids with a one-way ticket. ‘You may not be coming back from the same port,’ he says. ‘You may not be coming back from the same country. You may not be coming back at all’.” — John Brophy, talking in the 8.8. C. overseas service.
