Title: An interesting story
Post by: JuST Peter on December 08, 2014, 08:35:39 PM

Wounded NINE times including at Passchendaele. A career from Private to General. Highly decorated including a Knight in the Order of the Crown of the Kingdom of Belgium (Officer).

Possibly his many adventures were the result of his mixed Belgian & Irish ancestry?
 

Hard to believe! Move over Audie Murphy!

Wow, what an amazing man.
I would love to see a movie of his life, it would be awesome.

Thanks for sharing.
