I'm happy that my grand-father was "luckily" deployed to Italy instead as part of the 22nd Royal Regiment.

The only story he ever told us was that one day he was in a trench with 3 of his buddies and his sergeant called for him to go to him and the second he reached the sergeant position a mortar strike (or whatever explosive) landed where he was and his 3 buddies died instantly.

A freaking legit Elite Skin would be Léo Major. A Freaking invincible hero. The best of the best of the bad asses.
