Kilted officer in WWII

Here's a link to good article about a kilted officer in WWII who worked with the French Resistance after D-Day. He would wear his kilt in plain view, just to buck up the spirits of the French and let them know that they were not alone.

It just goes to show that a man in a kilt is man indeed!

Wow, what a story. Wish they would have included a picture of him kilted.

"In his Cameron Highlanders’ tartan, with a Sten gun in his hand, explosives in his pockets and a skean dhu — the traditional Scottish dagger — tucked into his sock, his flamboyance made him a legend in this rugged area of rural France."

Might have to pick up this autobiography, and a movie sounds like it would definately be good too.

Just ordered the book on amazon for $25.00 with the shipping.

Outstanding, makes me want to get the autobiography.

With the lead sentence Hero in a Kilt, one would think that the photograph would be one of him kilted.
