I conflagrated the war thing from something else, it seems. Guy I am talking about is Shizo Kanakuri. He was in the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, quit, went home without telling anyone, was declared missing and when the Olympic committee found out 54 years later what had happened, they invited him to finish the race he started, which also led to him receiving a Guiness World Record.

Though now I am wondering where the hell I got the soldier thing from... ๐Ÿค”

Maybe because between 1912 and 1966 he might've joined a war or two.
