In a similar vein.

My favourite bit was "A mortar shell killed or wounded everyone but Churchill, who was playing "Will Ye No Come Back Again?" on his pipes as the Germans advanced. He was knocked unconscious by grenades and captured."

true legends in there own right

Had to laugh at this

If it wasn't for those damn Yanks, we could have kept the war going another 10 years

Despite all his wounds in the war, Carton de Wiart said at the end: "Frankly I had enjoyed the war...and why do people want peace if the war is so much fun.

Had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times in Normandy too.

"Pipers had traditionally been used in battle by Scottish and Irish soldiers. However, the use of bagpipes was restricted to rear areas by the time of the Second World War by the British Army. Lovat, nevertheless, ignored these orders and ordered Millin, then aged 21, to play. When Private Millin demurred, citing the regulations, he recalled later, Lord Lovat replied: “Ah, but that’s the English War Office. You and I are both Scottish, and that doesn’t apply.” He played "Hielan' Laddie" and "The Road to the Isles" as his comrades fell around him on Sword Beach. Millin states that he later talked to captured German snipers who claimed they did not shoot at him because they thought he was crazy."

Who said the Belgians were "surrender monkeys"?

Mind you, it's not always hard to get shot.

I've been reading a bit about the Burma Campaign recently...plenty of heroism shown there....by people from all over the BE.... and the local inhabitants.

The place is pretty fu**ed up right now too

I'm as big a fan of The Victor as anyone, but I'd quite like wars to be run by chaps who think it's a vile, beastly business that's best gotten over with as fast as possible.
