W. Stanley Moss
Ivan William Stanley "Billy" Moss MC (15 June 1921 - 9 August 1965), was a British army officer in World War II, and later a successful writer, broadcaster, journalist and traveller. He served with the Coldstream Guards and the Special Operations Executive (SOE) and is best known for the Kidnap of General Kreipe. He was a best-selling author in the 1950s, based both on his novels and books about his wartime service. His SOE years are featured in ''Ill Met by Moonlight: The Abduction of General Kreipe'', (also adapted as a British film released under the main title) and ''A War of Shadows''. Moss travelled around the world and went to Antarctica to meet the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition.
A short biography, ''Billy Moss: Soldier, Writer, Traveller - A Brief Life'' by Alan Ogden, was published in 2014 as an Afterword to ''A War of Shadows''.
