Malt 379 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Don't know how I ended up reading about this guy just now, but the guy's a legend! He made the only confirmed longbow kill in WW2, and used to storm into battle with his bow, a claymore (Sword) and a set of bagpipes! If they made an action film about this guy, people would say it was too far fetched.. http://www.mademan.com/fighting-jack-churchill http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Churchill Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,960 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 "Churchill was second in command of No. 3 Commando in Operation Archery, a raid on the German garrison at Vågsøy, Norway on December 27, 1941.[2] As the ramps fell on the first landing craft, Churchill leapt forward from his position playing The March of the Cameron Men on bagpipes,[1] threw a grenade, and began running towards the bay. For his actions at Dunkirk and Vågsøy, Churchill received the Military Cross and Bar." The man was certifiable! Bloody incredible. Its these type of lads that make stand proud.
