SAS: Duty Before Glory: The True WWII Story of SAS Original Reg Seekings by Tony Rushmer

The biography of remarkable SAS Original Reg Seekings, from his humble beginnings in the Cambridgeshire Fens to his instrumental role in the success of the SAS during the Second World War.

Starting at the very bottom of the ranks, Seekings was a farm labourers son who climbed from private to squadron sergeant-major and became one of the British Armys most highly decorated non-commissioned officers of the Second World War. In short, Seekings was an ordinary man who did extraordinary things. His is a remarkable story one of fierce ambition, camaraderie, inner strength and heroism as he transcended humble beginnings in the Fen fields of Cambridgeshire. And he was there from the very first day of the SAS, which was born in the late summer of 1941.

Using audio material from the Imperial War Museum and previously unseen material from Regs collection of notebooks and handwritten accounts of operations, this is a comprehensive and engaging portrait of one of the units all-time greats.
