  I think writing a thank you letter to your prison commandant and inviting him to your home for dinner, must be the most British thing I've ever heard. 😂

  As an older veteran, we had many mad soldiers in the British Army, they made life interesting. Look up the greatest raid ever, Jeremy Clarkson, amazing narration you will just love it I am sure.

  A Clasic British eccentric, totally mad.  I love the fact that he would chuck his brief case out of the train window into his own garden so he did not have to carrry it from the station.  Brillaint would love have downed a whisky or two with him

  Spike Milligan once said that soldiers in the Regiments that had Pipers playing were fierce fighting men, as they were running away from the noise. And my Dad who was a WW2 Veteran told me that it didn't matter what nationality you were, once the pipes got going they got your blood up and you felt fearless, ready to knock the shite out of everyone and anything that got in your way. And he was an inner city London lad from Pimlico.

  Mad Jack was a fantastic soldier and person, as an ex-British soldier l must say that we have alot of 'mad' soldiers , it helps to be like that in difficult situations!

  My favourite bit (I mean, he sounds incredible) was him throwing his briefcase into his own back garden from a moving train... Hysterical!

  The Victoria Cross story will blow you away.

  I recommend checking out Charles Upham, the only person to be awarded the VC with bar for combat, and a Kiwi to boot

  My dad won a medal for leading his fellow prisoners to safety after escaping from a Japanese war camp, he never spoke of it and had shell shock as it was known back in world war 2 now known as PTSD. My brother has all his medals and other things he had during the war.

  I think you'd really like Jeremy Clarkson's documentaries, The Victoria Cross: For Valour, and The Greatest Raid of All Time.
