Book excerpt: Background about Transcript: My uncle died some 10 years ago now. His son (my cousin) found this transcript in his father’s attic, it was amongst all sorts of letters and paper cuttings and a lot of old bills apparently. I don’t think my cousin even read it. However, sometime last year, at a funeral no less, we got talking and he knew I had always been a bit of a scribbler, so the long and the short of it was that he posted me this transcript and said do with it what I liked. I have taken him at his word, typed it up (mistakes and all) and posted it on the web as an e-book. Originally there was a lot of swear word, but these have been removed to allow it to be published on the web. I would say, it does detract from the original, but unfortunately this is the way it has to be. Having said that there was a lot of bad language and mostly of a gratuitous nature. I will probably put the original on the internet sometime in the future, over 21’s only or whatever. I only fairly recently ended up with this transcript, which was found in my uncle’s possessions after his death some 10 years ago now. With my cousin's permission (who gave me these fifty or so pages) I have retyped them and kept it as near to the original as possible. Unfortunately, I had to remove the swear words to get it published. Was this a real S.A.S. operation? It is unclear to my cousin, why my uncle should have a transcript of a military operation in Northern Ireland from March 1984. The only clue is that my uncle was actually in the SAS, it was long before 1984 it’s true. Infact he was a member of the S.A.S. during the Second World War. It just seems very strange document for my uncle to have and not tell anyone, because he wasn’t a quiet man, not in his later years at any rate. The bottom line is that no one knows if this is true or not and mainly because of this, I have deliberately not put my name to this, or indeed mentioned my uncle or cousin by name. The fact is that we may well be asked questions which we simply don’t, and never will, have the answers to.
