| Description |
First part of Mad Jack Churchill series: Early years and WWII (1939-1941) John Malcolm Thorpe Fleming "Jack" Churchill was born in Hong Kong. John 'Jack' Churchill was educated at King William's College on the Isle of Man and eventually graduated from the Royal Military College, in 1926 and served in Burma with the Manchester Regiment. He left the army in 1936 and worked as a newspaper editor and as a model and actor. From a young age, Churchill enjoyed archery and playing the bagpipe, which soon became extraordinaire talents. Churchill re-joined the army at the beginning of WWII. He was sent to France as part of the British Expeditionary Force, and immediately ambushed a German patrol near Calais. In this action, Churchill killed the enemy staff sergeant with a barbed arrow, becoming the only British soldier known to have felled an enemy with a longbow in the war. Churchill was then moved to the Commandos in Operation Archery (ironically), Norway, 1941. As the ramps fell on the first landing craft, Churchill leapt forward from his position playing "March of the Cameron Men" on his bagpipes, before throwing a grenade and charging into battle. #historiansunion #colored #colorized #colourised #colorization #colourisation #color #colour #history #ww1 #wwi #worldwarone #greatwar #thegreatwar #ww2 #wwii #worldwartwo #military #war #allies #rambo #britisharmy #churchill #madjackchurchill #madjack |
