[[Brigadier]] '''Derek Mills-Roberts''', [[Order of the British Empire|CBE]], [[Distinguished Service Order|DSO]] [[and bar]], [[Military Cross|MC]] (23 November 1908 – 1 October 1980) was a British [[commando]] who fought with the [[1st Special Service Brigade]] during [[World War II]]. In a quirk of military history, he became the only Allied soldier to strike a German Field Marshall with the latter's own [[Staff of office|staff-of-office]] – when Mills-Roberts beat [[Erhard Milch]] over the head with the just-surrendered marshal's baton.
