Lieutenant-General Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart had a tough time of it during WWI and WWII. While no one could necessarily say they enjoyed the war, Carton de Wiart really had some poor luck. His list of injuries was quite extensive. He was shot in the face, head, ankle, leg, hip and ear. After all that, you wonder how he survived at all.
There's more though. He also survived a plane crash. And when he was taken captive, he tunneled his way out of a POW camp. Then, when a doctor refused to amputate his fingers, which Carton de Wiart believed needed amputating, he bit them off! This man must have had a very high pain tolerance.
What's more, when asked about the war, he said "frankly I enjoyed the war." After it ended, he was sent to China as Winston Churchill's personal representative. During WWI, he received the Victoria Cross, which is the highest honor that can be awarded to a member of the British armed forces. Due to his injuries, Carton de Wiart wore an eye patch and was described as looking like "an elegant pirate." He became a figure of legend.
