'I was a soldier in WW2 - a pint of Guinness saved my life 80 years ago' A WWII hero soldier has recalled how “the toss of a coin and a pint of Guinness’”saved his life from a Nazi rocket attack exactly 80 years ago today.
It was suggested we go to the cinema, or a new NAAFI called The 21 Club, which was selling draught Guinness by the pint, which was unheard of, for thruppence.
While Ken was supping Guinness the nearby Cinema Rex in Antwerp took a direct hit from a Nazi V2 rocket.
Ken Pusey, now 98, had planned to spend the day at a cinema in Belgium on 16th December 1944 - the first day of the “Battle of the Bulge”.
But at the very last minute he changed his mind and headed to a new club after hearing it was serving draught Guinness.
