I wonder if there's a book about it.
How come they haven't made a movie about this guy?
Arthur Paton, who has died aged 88, won an MC in North Africa with the 11th Hussars before being recruited by the Special Operations Executive to supply the Greek resistance movement.
...
He narrowly escaped a mission to blow up oil supplies in Azerbaijan, considered to be suicidal, and was posted to Istanbul.
...
The remaining gun crew [of the original eight] opened fire at a range of 500 yards, forcing him to withdraw because he was short of ammunition and because two of his three guns had jammed. The citation for his MC stated that his courage and quick thinking had saved his troop from almost certain destruction.
... and on and on.
