•
Chris Green
Have you heard of the British officer who was shot in the stomach, the groin, the hand, the ear, the skull, the ankle, the hip, the leg and they eye, and lived to tell the tale?
Awarded the Victoria Cross, he also survived plane crashes; tunnelled out of a prisoner of war camp with one hand; and tore off his own fingers when a doctor refused to amputate them.
This is the story of Lieutenant-General Sir Adrian Carton De Wiart VC, the soldier they couldn’t kill.
