Mad Jack Churchill, a man who defied the norms of warfare with his bagpipes, longbow, and broadsword, charging into battle with an indomitable spirit that left both friend and foe in awe. His exploits during World War II, from leading raids with a sword in hand to playing his bagpipes amidst enemy fire, are the stuff of legend. Join us as we uncover the truth behind the man who believed an officer should never go into action without his weaponry from centuries past.

Alongside Mad Jack, we explore the saga of the Unkillable Soldier, Adrian Carton de Wiart. A man who seemed to defy death itself, Carton de Wiart survived countless wounds, from being shot in the face, head, stomach, and ankle, to losing an eye and a hand. His relentless determination and sheer will to survive make his story one of the most incredible in military history.
