Real Life Incredible Soldiers

Crazy stuff... Would've sucked to be on the other side!.

For example, Jack Churchill:
Lieutenant-Colonel Jack Churchill "Mad Jack" was a British soldier who 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 enemy Feldwebel (sergeant) with his barbed arrows, becoming the only known British soldier to have felled an enemy with a longbow in the course of the war.
