Have you never heard of my ancestor, the great Mad Jack Churchill?

He's fucking mental, I love him!

For those who don't want to take the time to read this wikipedia article:

Lieutenant Colonel Jack Churchill ("Fighting Jack Churchill" and "Mad Jack") was an English soldier who fought throughout World War II armed with a longbow, arrows, and a claybeg. He once said "any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed."

This guy led numerous raids on German garrisons while playing bagpipes and armed with a sword and a longbow.

Wow. Just wow.

there were some real nutters in WW1+2... Like Siegfried Sassoon, who captured an entire German trench single handedly, and then went on to throw the ribbon from his military cross into a river.
