Johnny Wiseman
Major John ("Johnny") Wiseman MC (27 January 1916 – 23 August 2005) was a British soldier and World War II Special Air Service (SAS) veteran, where he saw action in the long range desert raiding parties of the North African Campaign, then in front line support of the invasion of Sicily and Italy during which he was awarded the Military Cross, followed by commando operations deep behind German lines following the Invasion of Normandy.
==Early life and army career==
Wiseman was born in Kingston upon Thames, and educated at St Paul's school and Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he studied languages. In 1937 Wiseman went into the optical instrument business founded by his father, Max, who arrived from Germany in the 1920s. They were a Jewish family and a taped interview with him and archivist Martin Sugarman is at the Jewish Military Museum in London, where his MC and medal group with photograph are on display. On the outbreak of war he attempted to join the Royal Air Force, but was told to "wait until contacted". Instead, he chose to join the North Somerset Yeomanry at the rank of Trooper.
With the Yeomanry he saw action against the Vichy French forces in Syria, opposing the Allied occupation of Lebanon. His fluency in French and German earned him a place in officer training in Cairo. Wiseman was eventually commissioned as an officer with the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry. On hearing of David Stirling's newly formed SAS unit he sought Stirling out, who had a flat in Cairo.
