My covert SAS life: I was hiding in a hedge as an Irish farmer covered me in petrol

The two SAS soldiers had been peed on before. But petrol being poured onto the hedge they were hiding in and now running down their faces was a new and dangerous low.

For days they had barely moved. Now the farmer they had been secretly watching had an inkling that someone was watching. He was systematically soaking the vegetation around them with fuel.
