Gunner Hall Posted 5 November , 2019 Share Posted 5 November , 2019 Difficult to recognise someone looking up his nostril, but Adrian Carton De Wiart (again?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle George Posted 5 November , 2019 Share Posted 5 November , 2019 He looks like the chap on the right. But he isn’t Belgian. So maybe he’s the Belgian chap on the left. But he doesn’t look like him. So, as you were. (Image from Wikipedia). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knotty Posted 5 November , 2019 Share Posted 5 November , 2019 Hopefully my 2000 post, who is this WIT. A few firsts to his name, which is common to France, he is mentioned on the Forum a couple of times. A pioneer in his field, but not well received in his own country, he became revered in unlikely parts of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverforget Posted 5 November , 2019 Share Posted 5 November , 2019 Congrats on your 2000th post. At the moment I can't make my mind up whether he looks like a man of science or a man of medicine. He looks a bit Ruskie to me too. Tantalizing glimpse of a badge on his arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
