Indeed. I recall my father telling me some stories that my grandfather had told him (he died years before I was born so I never knew him). It's by the narrowest of margins that I exist as he came perilously close to death on more than one occasion, both from sickness and enemy action. I recall one story when he was riding a horse, despite being in the infantry (was sent by an officer to a nearby villiage to buy bread) and wonder if it might have been one of the horses in this story.
