Trooper's mirror deflects sniper's bullet


Maintaining a regular grooming regime not only keeps you looking sharp, but it could also save your life. That was certainly the case for Aussie trooper Fred Beale, of Brisbane. Beale escaped with his life following a Japanese sniper attack in Papua New Guinea in 1943 and it was all thanks to his metal shaving mirror. The mirror, which he kept in his pocket, deflected the bullet. The metal mirror was badly dented, but Beale escaped unhurt. Talk about a close shave.
