| | Guardian | Oswin Craster |
 | | The lifelong dedication of Oswin "Os" Craster, who has died aged 89, to his country's and his family's heritage was interrupted by distinguished wartime service with the Special Operations Executive (SOE) behind enemy lines in France and Burma. |
 | | Craster was born in Oxford, the son of the Bodleian librarian Sir Edmund, but the Crasters were of Northumberland stock and Oswin spent much of his later life in the fishing village of Craster. |
 | | In his report, Craster concluded that his team had been dispatched at least a month too late and complained that many of its messages and requests, including one for an undamaged radio, had been ignored. |
