As another Remebrance Day fades into memory elsewhere on t’internet there is a thread about hero teachers. I had two – a housemaster who was previously a Pathfinder Wing Commander, DFC and bar and a French master who was awarded a MC for having both arms blown off saving his platoon from a badly thrown grenade.

She calls on little Ralphy.
He replies, ‘None, they will all fly away with the first gunshot.’
