SAS Memorial page

To those who didn't beat the clock....

"We are the Pilgrims; we shall go

always a little further: it may be

Beyond that last blue mountain barred with snow

Across that angry or that glimmering sea....."

This is a list of all SAS soldiers who have died. I am currently trying to locate the names of those who died during World WarII. If you can help please e-mail me.

Currently for the best listing of the SAS soldiers who died during WWII go here.
*As a side note, I have used the term KIA(or Killed In Action) to describe everyone. Although some may have died in training accidents.*
