Biographical details provided by the vendor: Samuel Wellington Rushworth was the son of a professional soldier of the South Lancs Regiment and was born at Wellington Barracks Dublin in 1920. At the outbreak of WW2 he was living in Manchester and joined the Royal Artillery and quickly gained the rank of Sergeant. Hearing about the new Parachute Regiment he volunteered and after gaining his Parachute wings, volunteered for the new SAS Regiment and was posted to No1 Squadron 2nd SAS. He was involved in operations in North West Europe and found himself dropped into France 2 days before D-Day with the aim of disrupting German reinforcements heading towards the Normandy beeches. Shortly after the D-Day landings is patrol was ambushed and he was wounded in the backside and his combat knife damaged, the scabbard accompanying the lot. His wounds appear to have been more embarrassing than fatal as he soon returned to duty and was stranded behind enemy lines during operations in the Vosges when the SAS were hunted and those captured were executed by the German SS. Returning to Allied lines he was later one of the soldiers to enter Belsen concentration camp and his final operation of the War was when his unit was despatched to Norway to hunt down the last fanatical U-Boat crews and SS soldiers. Discharged from the army he returned to his pre war job as a fishmonger at Manchester Fish Market and he died in December 2001 at the age of 81 years
