Commando Comic #4608 'The Talisman' (2013)
 
Private Bill Watkins was one of the men who survived the retreat to Dunkirk. He put it down to one unusual incident -- the sight of a young French lad spurring him on to reach the safety of an escaping ship when he had all but given up. Bill decided this youngster was his "Talisman" -- his lucky mascot.
 
But was it wise for him to think that a lucky mascot could get him safely through the war? Probably not... especially when he joined the SAS!
