Sorry, failed to edit in time/don't understand the technology

The correct spelling is Liddell and this is a continuation of 'Christianity in the Military' He is a Local Hero in Stirling

In the recent past, were these issues not entirely compatible? Aiden Liddell joined up to oppose German oppression and led his men through the first months of trench warfare. He trained himself to fly at his own expense (while wounded after his MC) and returned too early but still saved his Navigator.
