Recently I read an interesting article about the British writer Christopher Robin Milne, who was the son of his more famous writer father, the one from Winnie the Pooh, the character of Criss from Pooh was modeled on him. I read that he was quite a sickly but obnoxious child, in a positive sense, he was reportedly rejected from the British Army for medical reasons, so he asked his famous writer father and also a World War I veteran to use his influence in Churchill's office to write him down in the booklet. military that he was fit for military service, although he was not, because he did not want to be a mollusk, he ended up in the Italian War Theater of World War II, there he did really bravely, there he got a shot in the bottom near the spine, which the doctors did not remove because it could have been threaten his health that could be paralyzed , apparently he regretted that he had allowed himself to be baited by British WWII propaganda :)
