I looked up some other stuff about Garner, he described himself as his company "scrounger" in the Korean War where he received two Purple Hearts, the second one was awarded when he got shot in the arse by and American jet. Kudos!

He was also a 16 year old merchant marine sailor in the battle of the atlantic as well. I saw an interview given by him as a follow up with the film he did with Julie Andrews and James Coburn about filming the D-Day landings, the film was tongue in cheeck and he had a few comical things of course, but he also went into his personal history as well which was more than cool.
