Murray Walker drove a tank during WWII.

Christopher Lee served as a Flight Lieutenant, as well as with Intelligence and Special Forces in the Western Desert, Malta, Sicily, Italy and Central Europe.
Actor Richard Todd served with 6 Para (I think) and fought at Pegasus Bridge on D-Day.

Interstingly Richard Todd plays Maj John Howard (who commanded the initial glider assult at Pegasus Bridge and heroically held the bridges afterwards) in the film "The Longest Day".

I am unsure who plays Richard Todd in the film
