<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 4432773, member: 33&quot;]Regarding Errol Flynn, he did not serve in WWII. He wanted to, but according to Wikipedia:</p><p>&quot;Flynn became a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalised" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalised" rel="nofollow">naturalised</a> American citizen on 14 August 1942.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errol_Flynn#cite_note-Basinger,_Jeanine_p._247-51" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errol_Flynn#cite_note-Basinger,_Jeanine_p._247-51" rel="nofollow">[51]</a> With the United States fully involved in the Second World War, he attempted to enlist in the armed services but failed the physical exam due to recurrent <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaria" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaria" rel="nofollow">malaria</a> (contracted in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Guinea" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Guinea" rel="nofollow">New Guinea</a>), a heart murmur, various venereal diseases and latent pulmonary tuberculosis.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errol_Flynn#cite_note-Basinger,_Jeanine_p._247-51" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errol_Flynn#cite_note-Basinger,_Jeanine_p._247-51" rel="nofollow">[51]</a> Flynn was mocked by reporters and critics as a &quot;draft dodger&quot; but the studio refused to admit that their star, promoted for his physical beauty and athleticism, had been disqualified due to health problems.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errol_Flynn#cite_note-52" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errol_Flynn#cite_note-52" rel="nofollow">[52]</a>&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errol_Flynn" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errol_Flynn" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errol_Flynn</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The man in the photo is handsome. I don&#039;t recognize him as any actor I&#039;ve seen. He does somewhat resemble Flynn. Flynn was born in 1909, BTW. So could have served if not for the various medical issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
