some might think the last time a longbow was used to kill an enemy combatant in battle
was some time during the middle ages.... but would you be surprised to know a longbow
was actually used by a british officer named mad jack churchill in world war 2?.... france..
. 1940... near dunkirk.. at the beginning of an ambush on a german patrol.. ...

there is also documented proof that this same officer carried a scottish claymore into battle
at least once... a photograph of a beach landing shows him going ashore with it in his hand
