Steve McQueen
We remember him as part of the gang who successfully escaped from a German POW camp in “The Great Escape”. What most people don’t know, is that he actually rescued five other marines from drowning in freezing cold waters during a training exercise.

Ernest Hemingway
The brilliant writer Ernest Hemingway worked as an ambulance driver in Italy during the First World War. Like many other writers, the incidents he experienced during that time greatly influenced his projects later on. One such event was when an explosion destroyed a munitions factory which he responded to, finding the maimed bodies of the factory’s workers. He retold the events of that day in his book, “Death in the Afternoon”.
