This June, Paul Montgomery and The Plymouth Business Charity Group are auctioning an extraordinary one-of-a-kind piece of military memorabilia on eBay—an item that will take pride of place in the lucky winner’s home. In addition to the online auction, the piece will be showcased at a live event on 13 June, held at the historic Royal Citadel in Plymouth, home of 29 Commando Regiment.
The centrepiece of the frame is a reproduction of Hitler’s infamous Commando Order—a chilling directive issued during World War II that ordered the immediate execution of all captured commandos and parachutists. Surrounding the document are berets and cap badges representing the main regiments targeted by the order, alongside an iconic Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife, the symbol of Allied special forces.
What truly sets this piece apart is what’s on the reverse: authentic signatures from an extraordinary group of individuals—special forces veterans, decorated war heroes, and military authors—listed in the order they signed:
• Damien Lewis – Military Author
• Mark ‘Splash’ Aston – former SAS
• Staz Stazicker CGC – former SBS
• Toby Gutteridge – former SBS
• Jason ‘Foxy’ Fox – former SBS
• Joshua Leakey VC – 1 Para
• Mark Ormrod MBE – former RM
• Tip Cullen – Lead Actor in Sunray: Fallen Soldier, former RM Mountain Leader
• Col (Retd) Al Carns DSO OBE MC MP – former CO SBS
• Col (Retd) Stuart Tootal DSO OBE – former CO 3 Para
• Ollie Ollerton – former SBS
• Col (Retd) Tim Collins OBE – former SAS
• Mark ‘Billy’ Billingham – former SAS
• Andy McNab CBE DCM MM DArts – former SAS
• Johnny Mercer – former 29 Cdo Regt officer, same regiment as Maj Gus March-Phillips DSO MBE (SOE)
• Chris Ryan MM – former SAS
Each signature is accompanied by photo authentication to confirm the signing. In the lead-up to the auction, we’ll be sharing more about each individual and their remarkable contributions.
