Waritme icons. Who would you have most liked to share a glass of nectar with?

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.

No body said the drink had to be peaceful. You could always get Mountbatten drunk, then knock him off his chair and flail away with fists and feet until he $hit his pants like so many good Canadian men did after his foolish plans were enacted.
