Per Wikipedia, on this day 100 years ago Alvin C. York (who after a religious conversion was reluctant to fight in the military) led his heavily-wounded platoon into battle, single-handedly killing 28 German soldiers and capturing 132 others.

York was a real hero.
The movie with Gary Cooper is great. I've probably seen it a half dozen times over the years.

Those 132 others knew that a prison camp was better than life in the trenches.

He was a member of the same unit as I ... 325th, 82nd ( now Airborne ) Division. We’re the All-Americans of the United States military.
