In the 1960s/70s, my father worked as a panel beater/body repairer in Thornton Engineering, a garage in Bradford, Yorkshire. One of his workmates had a scar on his throat. He had been deployed (volunteered?) in the Dunkirk rearguard to enable to bulk of the troops to evacuate. During the ensuing fighting he received a throat wound (which would prevent him from eating or drinking). From his condition he was presumed dead by the Germans who eventually overran their position. Whether the rest of the rearguard were killed outright or taken prisoner I can't recall. Luckily a German medic, inspecting the dead and wounded in the aftermath realised he was still living and cutting some petrol pipe from a jeep, inserted the pipe in his throat so he could eat and drink liquids until his throat healed. He was sent to a POW camp, survived the war and ended up back in Bradford fixing cars. In war there are opportunities for chivalry and humanity to intersperse the brutality - giving some hope for the idea of common decency in the world.

I’m guilty of using the word “legend” too often to describe people, but this man well and truly fits the description. What a brilliant recount. The field hospital story had me cracking up... And the fact that he shows a bit of a remorse that when he’s in the hospital bed he physically couldn’t do anything (suggesting he wanted to engage the German officer) embodies the Commando spirit you read and hear about; through and through. Inspirational.

I work in a bar in and we had an older lad like Sergeant Stan, a regular in everyday who we looked after. I don't think he himself was ex Army but he was in his 80's and he was just hard as nails - nobody could carry his drinks back to his table for him, especially his wifes drinks - that was a nono. I remember when a young student bumped into him once and the look he gaves this lad, my god haha! The poor kid just melted on the spot and wanted the ground to swallow him up. No longer with us now, but he is part of our pubs history, one of the last from a bygone era. We will miss true men like these, especially men like Segeant Stan W Scott.

I can't understand what happened to him. So, he was wounded, then delivered to German hospital (probably by a jeep driver who drives wrong way). Then he was "evacuated" to 108th British field hospital. How's that? Was it still the war time? How could a captured British military be evacuated from German to British hospital during the WWII?

[@piercybear7336]

His unit was attacked and probably overrun, I'm guessing they pulled back and the German medics saw he was alive and treated him as per the Geneva convention. There are probably numerous accounts of wounded soldiers being transferred in the western theatre. It was a completely different war compared to the east.
