[edit] claymore

M18A1 Claymore or Claymore sword?

The link for the claymore is to the claymore sword and not the bomb. I think it would be awesome if it was the sword, but I dont know. Please god, let this man be the biggest baddass and have let him used a sword. That would be friggin awesome.

It's definitely the sword. A man can't exactly tote around a bomb and expect to use it in combat.

[edit] Primary source, anybody?

This should be put in the deletion queue if there is no way to independently corroborate that this man lived and did these things. World War 2 History magazine is not a repository for British commando records.

But British commando records aren't what's needed here. Almost all sources on Wikipedia are secondary sources. No original research, remember? If there were some reason to believe the secondary sources were fabricated or inaccurate, that would be one thing. But is there any reason to believe that here?

Agreed. No reason not to keep the article; I've heard and seen stranger things in military history. Kuroji 09:27, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

You could always contact his former regiment, they are always happy to help when it comes to former members especially one with the standing of Jack Churchill--Goatan 09:20, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Jack was my great uncle - he definitely lived and did these things. I intend to review the entry with my father's help. 40.0.96.1 16:57, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

The link to this article from claymore calls him a Lt. Col was this only a wartime rank as it obviously contradicts this article Alci12 22:41, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wow.

This guy is probably the biggest badass in history. Deimoss 01:26, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Word.

This article is very difficult to believe, and because of that should be supported with good citations, e.g. ones which do not refer to the "merciless hands of the Russians" etc. We'd all love to believe this, but I'm afraid it simply isn't true... --MatthewLiberal 20:47, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

And your proof is...?? Panzer V Panther (talk) 11:50, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

It's true matt, honest. Restepc (talk) 01:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't know who's more badass, Chuck Norris or this guy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.15.138.118 (talk) 02:46, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
