Definitely Not the Opera

How a wartime tattoo saved the life of a soldier

Before Jack LaChance went to fight in the Korean war, he was in Japan. He decided to get a tattoo. Little did he know what a difference that tattoo would make in his life.

Jack LaChance of Sarnia Ontario wasn't quite 20 years old when he spent a year as a frontline soldier in the trenches during the Korean war.  Before he went to war, he was in Japan and decided to get himself another tattoo to add to his collection. Sixty-four years later, Jack is still singing the praises of that tattoo artist.
