Default Major General John Hamilton (Ham) Roberts, CB, DSO, MC
The scape goat of Dieppe. A fine and broadly experienced officer who was set up for failure by Dickie Mountbatten. It would be wonderful to pick his mind about life as a subaltern in WW I, the struggle to maintain a professional army through the inter-war years, the amazing tour de France of 1 RCHA in 1940 and, of course, Dieppe.
