"In May 1940, Churchill and his unit, the Manchester Regiment, ambushed a German patrol near l'Epinette, France. Churchill gave the signal to attack by cutting down the enemy feldwebel (sergeant) with his barbed arrows."
"Leading from the front, Churchill infiltrated the town with only a corporal in support. He kidnapped a sentry and forced him to make his comrades surrender. Churchill and the riflemen walked out of town with 42 prisoners and a mortar squad."
"A mortar shell killed or wounded everyone but Churchill, who played "Will Ye No Come Back Again?" on his pipes as the Germans advanced."
"In later years, Churchill served as an instructor at the land-air warfare school in Australia, where he became a passionate devotee of the
surfboard. Back in Britain, he was the first man to ride the River Severn's five-foot tidal bore and designed his own board."
