Author

Stewart McClean

Stewart McClean is a former TA Warrant Officer who served in 102 (Ulster) AD Regiment (V). This unit was the successor to a number of Northern Ireland-based Gunner regiments, including 8th (Belfast) HAA Regiment into which Robert Blair Mayne was first commissioned in 1939. Mayne was appointed to 5 Light AA Battery which was raised in Newtownards, the author’s home town. These facts have contributed to Stewart McClean’s long-time interest in the wartime career of Blair Mayne, known as ‘Paddy’ to all who served with him. In 1997 a memorial was dedicated in Newtownards and the author was a member of the group that campaigned for this tribute to a local hero. As he explains in his introduction, this was also the occasion that sparked his interest in the Special Raiding Squadron, an SAS unit whose members were proud to call themselves ‘Paddy’s Men’. He currently lives in Northern Ireland.
