Other information

Arthur Irish never spoke about any involvement until after many decades, honouring the Official Secrets Act. He did talk of learning unarmed combat. He was known to wear his lapel badge, especially if going out to a local dance. It was only recognised by fellow Auxiliers in the area. After the war he stored some explosives in his workshop and would often use some while fishing to stun the fish making them float to the surface. 

He wasn't a big man but would never back down if he knew he was right.
