1.… 2. Neither. Tasman was not the first to see Australia and Cook was not the first to land on it. You can either tell me who set foot on it first, or who saw it first. I will accept both answers. Willem Janszoon with the crew of duyfken

He was a Cambridge scholar and a professor of Greek at age 25.
He was one of only two men to join the British Army in 1939 as a private and reach the rank of brigadier by the time WWII ended.
He was also the youngest brigadier in the army, for a period of time.

He was also the youngest brigadier in the army, for a period of time. After the war he came to prominence as a member of parliament, serving from 1950 to 1987, although for two different parties. He held several positions both in government and opposition during the 50s and 60s, the highest ranking of which would be as Minister for Health from 1960-63 under Harold MacMillan, but was resigned to the backbenches from 1968 onwards. Thinking about it this may be too British-centric for the international membership of this forum, if no-one gets it after tomorrow's clue I'll ask a new one.

Correct! John Enoch Powell MBE, commonly known as Enoch. Reviled by some, revered by others. A brilliant man and a very interesting figure, well worth looking him up if one knows nothing about him.

Can one still find gainful employment in this field? If so where do I sign up? Total guess: Scots?

I'd say Latvians. Or Estonians. It could be both.
