Keyes' diary makes it clear that Mayne was brought before the divisional commander, Brigadier Rodwell, on 23 June, for assaulting Napier, the second-in-command of his battalion. Mayne had a grudge against Napier, who had not taken part in the Litani raid, and who, according to a serving member of 11 Commando, had shot Mayne's pet dog while Mayne had been away. Mayne was attached to his pet, and was furious about this. [13] Keyes' diary records that, on the evening of 21 June, after drinking heavily in the mess, Mayne waited by Napier's tent and assaulted him when he returned. Keyes also records in his diary that Mayne was dismissed from 11 Commando the following day, 23 June, but does not say that he was arrested.

Lieutenant Colonel Robert Blair Mayne to some was simply Colonel Paddy. The Northern Irish man was one of the founding members of the Special Air Service or SAS. From November 1941 through to the end of 1942, Mayne participated in many night raids deep behind enemy lines in the deserts of Egypt and Libya, where the SAS wrought havoc by destroying many enemy aircraft on the ground. Mayne pioneered the use of military jeeps to conduct surprise hit-and-run raids, particularly on Axis airfields. It was claimed that he had personally destroyed up to 100 aircraft.

Perhaps this enigmatic personality is best captured on the pitch during his final cap for Ireland against Wales in Belfast in March 1939. Wales won 7-0, denying Ireland the Triple Crown, but the stand-out moment came from an act of retribution and then compassion from Mayne. 'My mother says I have to clean your nose' The stealthiness of its appeal is a curious thing. I confess I am not particularly drawn to war stories, so I approached this a little warily. More fool me, because this has been a brilliant drama. The cast is excellent, teasing out the conflict between these wildly different characters, forced into the same circumstances by war. Each is a type, yet afforded great complexity, whether that is Dominic West as the slippery Dudley Clarke, trying to navigate duty and personal pride, or the SAS, along with the Free French (and handful of Germans) who have joined them.
