Episode notes
Todays episode does include descriptions od death and injury during war. Listener discretion advised.
Today we are talking about Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart. An absolute machine of a man. I usually don't like military history, I am a people historian. And Adrian is one heck of a person and one heck of a soldier. So I thought his story should be told. Buckle up this story is crazy.
