Read this, this guy was a trooper!

Jack Malcolm Thorpe Fleming Churchill, DSO, MC and Bar (September 16, 1906—March 8, 1996), nicknamed "Fighting Jack Churchill", fought throughout World War II armed with a bow, arrows and a claymore. He once said "any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed".

In May 1940, Churchill and his unit, The Manchester Regiment, ambushed a German patrol near l'Epinette, France. Churchill gave the signal to attack by cutting down the feldwebel (Sergeant) with his barbed arrows.

Before the war, Churchill had graduated from Sandhurst in 1926 and served in Burma with the Manchesters. He left the service in 1936 and worked as a newspaper editor. He used his archery and bagpipe talents to play small film roles in movies like Sabu and The Thief of Baghdad.

He resumed his commission after Poland was invaded and volunteered for the Commandos after fighting at Dunkirk. He led two companies in the raid on the German garrison at Vaasgo, Norway. As the ramps fell on the first landing craft, Churchill leapt forward playing the "March of the Cameron Men" on his pipes. The Commandos destroyed the battery and eliminated the garrison.

For his actions at Dunkirk and Vaasgo, Churchill received the Military Cross and Bar. He received the Distinguished Service Order in 1943 for capturing the battery at Salerno, while commanding Number 2 Commando.

Leading from the front, Churchill infiltrated the town with only a corporal in support. He kidnapped a sentry and forced him to make his comrades surrender. Churchill and the riflemen walked out of town with 42 prisoners and a mortar squad.

In 1944, he led Number 2 Commando to Yugoslavia, where they supported the efforts of Tito's partisans. The soldiers raided the German-held island of Brac and assaulted hill 622. Only Churchill and six others managed to reach the objective. A mortar shell killed or wounded everyone but Churchill, who played "Will Ye No Come Back Again?" on his pipes as the Germans advanced. He was knocked unconscious by grenades and was flown to Berlin for interrogation after being captured.

He escaped from Sachsenhausen concentration camp in April 1945 and walked 150 miles to Verona, Italy where he met an American armored column. The war was almost over, and Churchill went to Palestine in 1948. He rescued 700 Jewish doctors, students and patients from a hospital under attack from Arab militants and his squad of 12 men escorted them to safety.

He retired in 1959 and died in Surrey in 1996. Eccentric until the end, Churchill would toss his briefcase out of the window of the commuter train he rode home every day. Passengers and conducters were shocked because they didn't know he was throwing the luggage into his own backyard as the train passed by. It saved him the trouble of carrying it all the way home from the station.
