The only two stories he told  me.

When he was a POW he manged to escape with a friend and they were caught in a torrential rain storm. Rather than trying to continue on, they ran beneath a road bridge only to find a German patrol who had the same idea. Needless to say they were returned to the POW camp.

 

 

During a fire fight, an enemy bullet missed his chest by a fraction of an inch and passed right through a clip of 303 bullets, without setting them off, and struck the hand of the soldier fighting alonside him.
