An Ordinary Man and An Extraordinary Life

This story is a bit more modern than what my blog posts are normally about - but I couldn't get over the story of Jean-Louis Cremieux-Brilhac, which can be read here. One of the many examples of how wars take ordinary people and put them in extraordinary situations - many of which no-one would hope to be in. Jean-Louis survived being a PoW to make a real contribution to the liberation of France after WWII - and I'm very happy to say is still alive at the genial age of 97.
