Achievements
-
Mr. Mitchell was a gifted military and author, his book, Terrain Evaluation (1973), reflects his devotion to military service.
During World War II his best-known exploit came in 1967, when he was serving in British South Arabia (now part of Yemen). In the evening July 3, 1967, Mr. Mitchell led his Scottish Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders battalion — with regiments bagpipes and drums playing — straight into a rebel position. By the following morning, he had captured the position without losing a single soldier and having killed only one of the rebels.
