Oh Internet

Now, look here. I know I’ve posted things in the past that I’ve claimed to have loved, to have been entranced by or to have been the pinnacle of human achievement. However, this obituary (stay with me!) of Lt Col John Pine-Coffin is my favourite thing that I’ve ever posted on this site.

I’ve no idea if I’ve it’s actually a spoof, but if not, then this chap was one of the last practitioners of the great art of heroic British military misadventure. It’s like reading a real-life version of Flashman.
