Sergeant Tony Gage, GM served on the staff at Achnacarry. Post war member of the Commando Association residing in Vancouver, Canada.

One evening in February, 1941, an aircraft crashed into the side of a hill near an aerodrome and caught fire. Corporal Deacon, Gunner Gage and another soldier ran to the scene of the accident and found one member of the crew on the main plane. They dragged this airman to safety. The airman then informed his rescuers that three other members of the crew remained in the aircraft. Deacon and his companions immediately returned to the burning aircraft and, despite the added danger from exploding cannon shells and small arms ammunition, they succeeded in dragging clear the other members of the crew [1].
