I know that the UN will see this as a major loss to their community. It is also one for those who value military intelligence @James1940 @almurray @thehistoryguy

Brian Urquhart has just died. Renowned as a UN diplomat he was also the Intelligence Officer for Browning who warned him of the German Armour at Arnhem. Great loss washingtonpost.com/local/obiโ€ฆ

He said his work at the U.N. was motivated by โ€œidealism of a very practical kindโ€ following his traumatic experiences serving in the British military and intelligence during World War II.

After actor James Doohan was shot 6 times on D Day night by friendly fire, losing the middle finger of his right hand, he learned to fly Austers and spot later in the war. He was reprimanded for slaloming his Auster along a line of telephone poles, just to prove it could be done.
