The Walking Wounded: The Incredible Fighting Life of Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart

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.
