J.R.R. Tolkien
There is more to J.R.R. Tolkien aside from writing some of the most amazing fantasy works on the planet. For one thing, the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit author was a hero during the First World War as well! As a matter of fact, some people claim that his books were a representation of what he went through in the trenches during the height of the Great War.

Charles Bronson
We can’t think of a cooler Hollywood actor than Charles Bronson. However, the silver screen is not the only thing responsible for who he became. During the Second World War, he enlisted and joined the 760th Flexible Gunnery Training Squadron. He flew 25 successful missions in those days. Aside from that, he was also awarded the Purple Heart because he got wounded at the hands of the enemy.
