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.

I just received my copy of the autobiography. I've had a quick look, and there are a number of pictures of Sir Tommy and his family kilted. This is clearly a man who wore the kilt from an early age and whose sons, brother and nephew all look comfortable in the kilt. It looks like it's going to be a fascinating read!
