A British soldier fought in WW II with a longbow, bagpipes, and a broadsword!! ...Soldier 7
Lieutenant Colonel John Malcolm Thorpe Fleming Churchill, or more commonly known as ?Fighting Jack? was a British soldier renowned for his outlandish battle techniques in World War II. Routinely called mad, Churchill would go into every battle with a Scottish broadsword slung across his back, bagpipes under his arms, a longbow, and a quiver with arrows.
Churchill joined the army relatively early in his life. He joined the Commandos because it ?sounded dangerous,? unsure of what his duties would be. Churchill was put in charge of raiding several German garrisons and became famous for his strategies. While in Poland, Churchill would give the signal to attack by shooting at the enemy commander with his longbow. This marks him as the only known British soldier to have killed an enemy with a longbow throughout the entire war.
Churchill also became famous for his routine attack style while trying to capture different enemy territories. He would jump from his position while playing a tune on his bagpipes. As he did this he would throw a grenade and sprint into the midst of the fighting, attempting to fell as many men as possible with his broadsword!
