Remembered as Scotland's most famous Athlete from 1924 Paris Olympic Games, English Men's Track Team. He is just given a line at the end of Chariots of Fire, saying Eric Liddell Died in China at the end of the War, all of Scotland Mourned. There was more to his Story. On Wings of Eagles, the new DVD I got off of Netflix this Week, well played by Joseph Fiennes When War Breaks out, in 1937, he sends his Wife and Kids home. When the Japanese take the Country, He and everyone is the School he was Teaching at is Interned in a Camp. Sadly the Olympic Champion we all recall, slowly wears down, He Died of a Brain Hemorige in March, 1945, 5 Months before the War ended. Well done Movie. Sort of a smaller version of 1988's Empire of the Sun. Paul
