Knotty Posted 4 October , 2017 Share Posted 4 October , 2017 I can see where you are coming from, could easily be him at a young age, but alas it is not him either. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fattyowls Posted 4 October , 2017 Share Posted 4 October , 2017 Cluny McPherson, the inventor of the gas mask perchance? I searched the extensive library and could only find a photo of him on a camel so I can't be sure......... Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knotty Posted 4 October , 2017 Share Posted 4 October , 2017 Well done Pete you have him. The picture is of him as a Captain, some years before the camel picture as a Colonel, he is someone that you don't hear much about, but played a significant part in saving the lives of thousands of soldiers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluny_MacPherson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knotty Posted 4 October , 2017 Share Posted 4 October , 2017 Simply he was one 'ell of a writer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fattyowls Posted 4 October , 2017 Share Posted 4 October , 2017 Dennis Wheatley? A wild guess based on the clue rather than anything simple like a resemblance. That would be just too conventional...... Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knotty Posted 5 October , 2017 Share Posted 5 October , 2017 Ok, the big clue--he went from 57CNW3 (H7) to 28NE1 (D6) for the first toothpaste, that should make it easier to get him. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knotty Posted 6 October , 2017 Share Posted 6 October , 2017 Hi Gentlemen No not "Cleg" , but thanks for the references. As you have alluded to he was not an officer, but he was attached to the army albeit loosely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
