Wow great work Iron Duke! Thanks, lucky guess! Ok, I'm not sure how famous this soldier is outside of Poland as I only heard about him last week, but it's such a great story... He was born in Iran and spent his post-war years in Scotland until his death in 1963. He travelled across the middle east with 22nd Artillery Supply Company, II Corps in 1942-3, and was drafted in Egypt in order to allow him to travel with the unit on a British transport ship to Italy, where his actions during the Battle of Monte Cassino saw him earn promotion from private to corporal. There are statues of him in Krakow, Edinburgh, the Sikorski Museum in London, and a plaque in the Imperial War Museum. |

One of the most heart-warming anecdotes from the Second World War.
Now my turn:
He was an important military figure in France, and was the King of a city in another country. He was extravagant and pompous, but was a competent leader and strategist. He was captured and sentenced to death, and he bravely wished to be executed without a blindfold. Against a firing squad, he said something along the lines of: Soldiers, do your duty! Straight to the heart but spare the face! Feu (fire)!
Who was this person?

The part about being able to do research when you are the setter is more of a given, IMO. Moreover, even though liamcog uses Google as an example, it's implied that researching to find the ans is also not sporty. By the way, mrmansterin's question is still active unless you are the first to answer his question correctly and have been awarded the turn to set the question. |
