Major-General Jeremy Phipps obituary
Flamboyant SAS officer who helped plan the dramatic response to the Iranian embassy siege and later became director of Special Forces
...Jeremy Julian Joseph Phipps was born at Beauly in Inverness-shire in 1942. His father, Alan Phipps, was a Royal Navy officer. His mother, Veronica, was a daughter of the 14th Lord Lovat, chief of Clan Fraser, and brother of “Shimi” Lovat, who led 1st Commando Brigade on D-Day. Phipps’s father was killed in 1943 on the island of Leros in the Aegean, never seeing his son. After the war his mother married Fitzroy Maclean, MP, who had served in the SAS in North Africa with her cousin David Stirling, and subsequently in Yugoslavia with the partisans as Churchill’s envoy to the future President Tito, which he recounted in Eastern Approaches (1949). As a Fraser of Lovat, Phipps’s mother was an adherent of “the auld religion”, and her son was baptised a Catholic and sent to Ampleforth.
...Phipps’s return to regimental duty as a squadron leader in the BAOR five years later might have seemed a dull prospect after the SAS but for the Northern Ireland Troubles. Almost every regiment in the army saw duty in the province. Besides, his marital status was now “accompanied”, having married Susan Crawford, an equestrian artist, whose father had been a naval cadet at Dartmouth in the same intake as his father. She survives him, along with a son, Jake, a furniture designer, and a daughter, Jemma, a portrait artist....
Major-General Jeremy Phipps CB, hussar and SAS officer, was born on June 30, 1942. He died of lung cancer on March 16, 2021, aged 78
