  3. OT A great story on TV

    Thers a U tube vid that has a story about Lord Lovett going ashore on D Day with Bag Pipes playing. Althought the British Command had ordered no Bag Pipes. ( They made too much racket) Lovett is said to have stated that the order didn't apply to his Command because they were Scottish. Another story . Some of the captured Germen Infantry on D Day were ask why they didn't shoot the Bag Pipe players The reply was ( From most of them) How can you shoot someone so dumb to be making all that noise pointing out where he is located.

  19. Matt Lee Shadley Lee Shadley's Great Grandson Mike Sullivan writes: My Great Grandfather was born in Big Bend, California on May 15, 1895. He was a member of the Madasi band of the Pit River tribe. All of our family are proud of the service record or American Indians in our wars, even though at times, we were not classified as citizens. In 1992 my family was contacted by the DOD regarding Lee. He is considered to have been the "most wounded" man to survive in the war. I don't know if that is true, but I do know that he was shot on the 25 of September, 1918 and this resulted, by one late in life count, 175 entry and exit wounds on his body. The machine gun round went through his hip and struck a bag of grenades on the other side causing a large explosion. The reason he didn't die from infection during the three days he was in no man's land was due to not having eaten for a couple days and that the bullets which went in, and the damage from the exploding bag of grenades manage to miss every vital organ! He spent two days in the field before being taken to hospital. There he was more or less given up on, and moved to the hall outside the morgue with other soldiers who were not expected to make it. Later, while at San Francisco's Presidio, in March 1919, he was given the highest "score" of wounds among the convalescent soldiers, 117 at that time. He was awarded a Silver Star, Purple Heart and a $44.00 a month disability payment for his service.
