This hardc*re Brit is Lt.Gen. Adrian Carton De Wiart. This hard fu*k is pretty much a legend. No fu*ks given on 2 different continents in 6 different conflicts and campaigns. He lied about his age to join the military. He was wounded numerous times:
- Shot in the stomach and groin during the Second Boer War.
- Shot in the face and lost his left eye and part of his ear in East Africa
- Lost his left hand in the trenches of France during WW1 due to shrapnel; but not before he tore off some damaged fingers by himself.
- Shot in the skull and ankle during the Battle of Somme, France
- Shot through the hip at the Battle of Passchendaele, France
- Shot through the leg at Cambrai, France
- Shot through the ear at Arras, France
- At age of 60, he led operations against the s during WW2 in Norway, Poland and Yugoslavia.
- During a mission, his plane was shot down off the coast of Libya where he swam to the coastline. He was then captured and sent to a POW camp in Italy. He made 5 escape attempts, once eluding capture for 8 days even though he was conspicuous with an eye patch and did not speak Italian.
- He was awarded the British Distinguished Service Order and the Victoria Cross (compared to the MOH) and many more awards.
He summarized his experiences in these words: Frankly, I enjoyed the war. hardfu*k
