Common traits among men like de Wiart include things like stubbornness, determination, honor, duty, the feeling of responsibility mixed with a little audacity and boldness. Reading their exploits we sometime wonder if a touch of madness is part of their personality too. Some heroes are driven by a humanitarian need to save their wounded comrades. Others see that something has to be done to save his fellow soldiers, so he decides to act and manages to succeed.

Jack Church also was furious about the Americans entering the war as he said they helped to end it to soon. Some people are just in their element in war.

I heard he kept a bear rug in his living room, it wasn't dead, it was just to scared to move.

Holy shit that guy has survived through hell and still died at the age of 83! JUST HOW???!!!

Well, done Sir. Thank you for such an excellent job.

Trust a Belgian person, to out British(stiff upper lip) the rest of the British, and be awarded the hardest medal to win in the British army(possibly the world), on his way to do more on his own, than three or four people would normally do between them, and this surely makes him a legend in his own lifetime........ And, I would say that his life was at least as amazing(if not more), as Winston Churchill’s life was, because they were both active(albeit in different ways) in the same three wars, and except for the wounds and medals, they both went through the same sort of ordeals, with being captured and escaping etc........ I would love to be able to sit at the table for an epic lunch with those two, and some others too, because when the port and brandy started to flow, you can guarantee that the stories would be totally amazing, and I am sure that they would carry on through the day and night, at least until breakfast time or even luncheon.........

When Chuck Norris goes to sleep, checks his closet for Sir Adrian de Wiart.

What a fighter!! Rare grit. Most impressive. RIP old chap.

Very interesting day today..prior to viewing this I read of a 12 year old who served in the US Navy till he was seriously wounded, and his true age discovered..I than came upon this hero...Sadly I am sure there were many who were like him that we have never heard about,their actions dying with them...Even more sadly there are few like them today...A old Lt. I worked for once had said.."I am afraid the days of iron men in wooden ships has passed"...To those who's fame and bravery we have never heard of..Rest in peace my friends..you earned it...

My great grandfather, Captain John Colledge, knew Lt Gen Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart. I have a letter written by Lt Gen Carton de Wiart to my great grandfather, dated 1943. Lt Gen Carton de Wiart was a great man in every way !!

thank you, amazing story, and very inspiring.

This guy I already figured out was unkillable the first minute! Jeez this guy was the terminator

wow the eye patch reminded me of big boss and he has the military achievements to be a real life "Big Boss" from Metal Gear Solid

The character of Brigadier Ritchie-Hook, in Evelyn Waugh's "Men at Arms" (in my opinion the greatest novel to come out of the Second World War), is said to have been based on Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart.

Fantastic, very well done mate, really enjoyed it :)

Let’s hear it for, Lt.Gen. Sir Adrian de Wiart: hip, hip...bloody good show, eh wot?

Oh My God!

Unbelievable. But even heroes nod sometimes - "Coming down stairs, he slipped on coconut matting, fell down, broke several vertebrae, and knocked himself unconscious.".

This dude had an eyepatch?! This is the second war hero I know of that has a patch. (The first being Leo major. look him up.)

Very interesting.

Damn, that was interesting. This guy was pretty amazing.

now thats a man . rip

You need this guy on your team.

Chiang Kai-Shek yes technically held the rank of general, but its just a weird way to introduce him considering he was the Chinese president, It's like if you were to Introduce Winston Churchill as the Minister of Defense or Roosevelt as the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. It has the effect of presenting the Idea that Chang Kai-Shek was just some general representing Chinese Nationalist Interests to the Allies as opposed to the leader of the Chinese Republic.

Also interesting that Adrian criticized Mao for "holding back" against the Japanese, when in reality Nationalist generals had to literally force Chiang Kai Shek at gunpoint to put his domestic war with the Communists aside to fight the Japanese.

Especially considering by the time the British entered the war against Japan, Chinese Communists had already spent four years fighting the Japanese.

Not a single dislike , and for good reason

Had this man been a General in any other Army in the world, the national TV broadcaster and movie makers would have mad e documentaries and films about him. But not the left dominated UK media. Most British people will never have head of him.

I don't get the biting off his fingers story. Why wouldn't the doctor operate? Maybe he felt that it didn't need amputation and he bit them off anyway. Meh, never liked those fingers.

Well i'm reading his memories right now and i went through that moment, he said that after the battle his fingers were still onhis hand only with a couple of flesh of his hand, because the doctor didn't want to operate, it was literally useless, he bit it off, and he didn't felt anything.

God Mode in wars is real!

It's a great shame he wasn't given command at Singapore to prepare the place before the Japanese attacked.

he didnt mantion the hunting hobbit he had ...
