I would just like to make you aware of the Ulsterman, Robert Blair Mayne, co-founder of the British SAS in World War 2, from Newtownards in Northern Ireland he studied law at Queens Univeristy, Belfast, in boxing he was Irish Universities' heavyweight champion and he played rugby for Ulster, the all-Ireland team and the British Lions as well as seeing service with the Royal Ulster Rifles and the Cameronians, he saw action with the 11th (Scottish) Commando and co-founded the SAS and was decorated with the Victoria Cross. No doubt with the name Mayne there is some connection with the City of Maine!
