Lt. Tommy Macpherson

Colonel Sir Ronald Thomas Stewart Macpherson CBE, MC & Two Bars, TD, DL was a highly decorated British Army officer during and after the Second World War. He fought with No.11 Commando and French Resistance forces, becoming infamous among Axis forces as the "Kilted Killer". Having caused so much damage to military infrastructure, a bounty of 300,000 francs was placed upon his head. He was awarded the Military Cross and the Croix de Guerre three times, and the Légion d'Honneur.

He led numerous commando raids before being captured in an abortive attempt to scout for a raid on Erwin Rommel’s personal headquarters. He escaped and was recaptured several times, was nearly executed, then finally escaped again, traveling through much of Europe to get back to Scotland.

He went right back behind enemy lines, assisting French Resistance fighters in blowing up bridges, ambushing convoys and making life for the German occupiers as difficult as possible. At one point, the Germans put a massive bounty on him, which numerous Germans and French collaborators tried to cash in. Macpherson worked behind the lines right up until the war ended, then became a successful businessman.
He died in 2014.
