Mike Levy, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry

[ACARLG]

 

Lieutenant Mike Levy of Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry showing off a captured Thompson in Korea. He ran his own guerilla cadre against the Japanese at the age of 19, and during Korea held off a 5000-strong Chinese assault with only his 24-man platoon and help from a New Zealand artillery battery. Every one of his men survived, even as danger-close shells fell less than ten meters from his position. He passed away in 2007.

 

Now read why it took so long for Levy to be recognized.

Sadly, the Brits/Canucks were alone in this attitude
