    Sounds like he might have been a wee bit of a psychopath. I wonder what they’d have found if they dug up his cellar when he died.

      Possibly, but if you read about the rest of his life it seems like he just really enjoyed adventure, and, in common with many others, saw war as a thrilling, life-or-death, adventure.

        That just sounds like psychopath-lite…

          I think ‘mad as a sack full of badgers’ might be a more appropriate fit, but I can see the psychopath accusation, although he seems to mostly not cared about his own safety rather than displayed an unusual level of psycopathy for a soilder. If you read about the rest of his life it looks like hus feeling of invulnerability continued.
