What about this glorious bastard.
Jack ************* Churchill.
When asked by a fellow officer why Churchill insisted on carrying the broadsword into battle with him, he responded, "In my opinion, sir, any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed".
He got shot in the neck by a German and moved the **** on.
He joined an organisation called the Commandos without knowing what a commando was, and just did it for the prospect of beating up Germans.
As his men moved out to take out artillery batteries, he played a song on his bagpipes to keep spirits up.
When he went into that battle, he fearlessly waded through knee-deep water out at the head of his men, with his trusty blade lofted high in the air, screaming "COOMMAAAAAAANNNNDOOOO!!!!!" at the top of his lungs. Two hours later, British High Command received a telegram from the front:

Maaloy battery and island captured. Casualties slight. Demolitions in progress. Churchill."

One night, he single-handedly took forty-two German prisoners and captured a mortar crew using only his broadsword. He simply took one patrolling guard as a human shield and went around from sentry post to sentry post, sneaking up on the guards and then shoving his sword in their faces until they surrendered.

He had the only registered ******* LONGBOW kills of the Second World War.
******* Jack Churchill.

Then theirs this ******* badass who went into battle with a longbow and claymore in France. He once signaled an attack by killing a german officer with an arrow making him the only Biritsh soldier to kill an enemy with a ******* longbow.

Well I know England was famous for developing the longbow, because it could pierce armor from far away unlike a typical bow used at that time. They would simply line up hundreds of archers with bows bigger than them, and fire at every knight that tried to approach them. The knights didn't expect the arrows to pierce their armor, but with the vast improvement of power they took them by suprise.

Hell they even started using them for offensive purposes. Had their knights charge in, and had the longbowmen fire volleys a few hundred feet in front of their knights to weaken enemy lines before their CQ troops even got to them in the first place.

he was also captured and put into a POW camp. he then escaped, was re-captured, and escaped again only to have to walk 150 miles into france from germany with nothing to eat but a rusty can of onions. he lived off the land for the rest of the trip. when he asked to go back to war after he reached an allied base, he was informed, to his contempt, that the war was over

Sir Percy Brocklehurst Pocketknife,
A man who has lived an incredible life,
Has crossed the oceans, sailed the seas,
Traversed the deserts on his hands and knees,
Fought his way through mud and slush,
To conquer the peaks of the Hindu Kush,
Battled the blizzards to reach the Pole,
Fought Zulus for diamonds in Kimberley's hole,
Lived as a Lama in highest Tibet,
And during the war, let us never forget,
How he saved his battalion from certain doom,
By inventing the Brocklehurst legume.
Unfortunately, he has one fatal flaw:
The man is the most astonishing BORE!
He'll tell you tales of daring-do,
But by the time he's half-way through,
You're fast asleep, or even worse,
You're still awake! The man's a curse!
His stories are marvellous, first time round,
But after the 96th time, I have found,
After listening as long as I can
I just want to get up and strangle the man!
Sir Percy Brocklehurst Pocketknife -
The most boring man I've met in my life.
