Landed on Juno beach on D-Day. Shot and killed 2 snipers before leading his men to higher ground through a minefield. That night he was shot 6 times by a nervous Canadian sentry- 4 in the leg, one through his finger and 1 in the chest that was stopped by a silver cigarette case. Such a hero!
I'm thinking a documentary about his life would be well received.
I agree completely.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaal What an amazing man, thank you for sharing this gem. A real life HERO.
I did a report in school how soldiers used Gillette shaving kits being used as bullet proof shields over their chest
Well thank goodness for cigarette and shaving kits!
Omg that’s so sweet
Wow 😮 Is this apocryphal or genuinely true? Great story one way or another
True!
Who said smoking was bad for you?!
