Richard Flaherty lived an incredible life. I thought this was satire at first glance, but no, he really did serve at that height. Never heard of him before now.
In combat era photos, he looks as small as a child.
He was tougher than nails. Flaherty had a record of service any man of any size would be proud of.
I don’t know why an exception was made for him, but the war effort was better off for it.

Whenever VC in the tunnels saw the outline of him coming through, they probably would have assumed he was one of their own. Until the .45 caliber flash-boom, that is.

Known as the smallest man to ever serve in the U.S. military,

What about General Tom Thumb?
