Last one for tonite:-

 

Here's another Gen. Patton story that has been almost lost in time!!

 

The Medal Gen. Patton Lost

 

George S. Patton was the first Soldier to compete in the pistol event during the 1912 Games at Stockholm, Germany. Then a lieutenant, he encountered controversy in the shooting competition when one of his shots was ruled a miss – despite his contention the bullet passed through a previous hole in the target. No evidence supported his case, however, left him in 5th place instead of clutching a gold medal.

 

 

Late in the 1980s, a Patton life long researcher sent copies of the target to three individual engineering experts to assess a copy of the target. Each of the engineers thought that he was the only researcher to get the target.

 

After a prolonged testing procedure it was decided that one of the holes was slightly elongated which proved that Patton's contention was correct. There were computer produced data to support each of the engineer's finding(s)

 

Patton never officially protested the Olympic decision but silently walked away.
