Note that Jack Churchill didn’t use claymore as in “late medieval two-handed sword”, but a basket-hilted Scottish broadsword[1], which is more modern; it was still in use in 18th century and especially in Scotland[2]. The story about a confirmed longbow kill is also uncertain[1]: > A common story is that Churchill killed a German with a longbow in that action. However, Churchill later said that his bows had been crushed by a lorry earlier in the campaign.
