A few years back it was proposed that another body had been chosen for the Operation Mincemeat deception, a seaman from HMS Dasher which had sunk in the Clyde following an explosion. The corpse of Glyndwr Michael was several weeks old before having to be transported to Spain packed in dry ice aboard a submarine. Any pathologist could have inferred that the body had been refrigerated and was three months old than the week it was supposed to be, never mind the rat poison in the stomach. So a young seaman may rest under Major Martin's headstone in Huelva, while Michael the unfortunate tramp is honoured beneath an RN headstone in Ardrossan Cemetery.
