Lt-Gen Carton de Wiart, VC, KBE, CB, CMG, DSO was born into the Belgian aristocracy on May 5, 1880, and died in 1963, aged 83. His mother was of Irish descent and he was educated in Oxfordshire and joined the British Army after leaving Oxford University after just one term.

During his Army career, he was shot in the face, head, stomach, ankle, leg, hip and ear; survived a plane crash; tunnelled out of a POW camp in Italy, and bit off his own fingers when a doctor would not amputate them.

A popular rumour relates that after losing his eye, his removed his damaged eyeball from the socket, himself, because it hindered his ability to aim his Webley.

The General wore a glass eye for a short time and then, whilst travelling in a taxi, threw it from the window, and donned a black patch, which he wore for the rest of his life.

He was mentioned in despatches six times and awarded no less than 10 awards, including the Victoria Cross – the highest military award in the British Army, awarded for valour. His VC is now held by the National Army Museum. He also worked as a personal representative of Sir Winston Churchill.
