I'll add as well, thank you for your service. WW2 was an awful time in the world's history but it was amazing how that generation responded.

I have read a fair bit on the OSS and other books relating to that period and I suppose the one thing that keeps me intrigued above all others about people such as yourself, is you are basically volunteering for very hazardous duty, one could nearly say suicidal. How does someone like yourself make that decision?

You touched on it with the cyanide tablet in your kit. That piece of kit always amazes me with its implications.

I found out a few years ago my childhood doctor (a lovely gentlemen) was in this type of work for the English. His job was to get captured at Dunkirk (that was hazardous enough) then become a valued POW and get sent to work on farms and from there conduct espionage (e.g. blowing up rail lines, etc). Gestapo got him in a few times for questioning. Blew me away, he was the gentlest, kindest person you could meet. After the war he had moved to a small town in Australia to work. I actually went to school with his kids. Only found out when his book came out as well.

Again thankyou for your service and thankyou for this AMA, I will be buying your book as well.

You should have chosen the volleyball.

and he stated "in the Arabian horse world", you mentioned Olympics. You're comparing apples to oranges. You are correct, not many Arabs at FEI events, Olympics that I have seen.

Perfect trail name though ;)
