Visit to Sark (6): the video from James Edgar
Regular readers of NightHawk will know that I recently spent a weekend on the Channel Island of Sark in order to attend the launch of a book by my good friend Eric Lee. The work is called “Operation Basalt: The British Raid On Sark And Hitler’s Commando Order” and I’ve reviewed it here.
We had a special guest ‘appearance’ at the book launch: a video message from Corporal James Edgar the last surviving member of the 12-man commando team that launched the raid in 1942. He now lives in Australia. On the day of the launch event, he had his 96th birthday and all those present at the launch sang ‘happy birthday’ to him.
