🇬🇧 William Claude Rains Took A Hiatus From Acting When WW1 Broke Out And Volunteered To Serve In

🇬🇧 William Claude Rains took a hiatus from acting when WW1 broke out and volunteered to serve in the London Scottish Regiment. In November of 1916, he was wounded in a gas attack at Vimy. He lost 90% of vision in his right eye and suffered vocal cord damage. He never returned to combat, but continued to serve with the Bedfordshire Regiment. By the end of the war, he had risen to the rank of captain.
