Brigadier Derek Mills-Roberts, CBE, DSO and bar, 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 an enemy flag officer with the latter's own staff-of-office — when Mills-Roberts bashed Erhard Milch over the head with the just-surrendered marshal's baton.
