      5th SAS during ww2 unit consisted entirely of Belgian volunteers I believe. 3rd and 4th SAS units were comprised of French volunteers, with 1st and 2nd SAS being British. Don't Diss the guy, by the end of world war 2 the SAS regiment was some 2500 strong, so it stands to reason that someone's great uncle, grandad etc could have been in there
