Captain Mervyn Wingfield

Check out this obituary from the Daily Telegraph. This remarkable World War II hero had the French pegged thusly:.

"He returned home from Malta in May 1940 via the train from Marseille to Cherbourg, witnessing, en route, "a sorry mess of defeated soldiers". His reaction to news of the fall of France was one of relief: "There was nobody to let us down now."
