Dining With The Dead

[Jock Scot]

I have dined with John Browning's grandson,does that count? For Todd, Viscount Slim was my God father and I have dined with him often,so I suppose they don't count as they are/were alive!. So my three are;

Mahatma Gandhi.
Napoleon.
Sir Barnes Wallace.

Slim of Burma was your God father?

My grandfather served in the China-Burma-India Theatre of WWII, and was a great admirer of the British & Commonwealth forces who he served with the 14th Air Force.

Slim, INMHO, is one of the greatest generals in WWII, and even military history. He & 14th Army certainly does not get the credit they deserve for holding the Japanese in SE Asia -- no doubt the American campaigns in the Pacific would have been even more difficult had Slim not been there.

I am in awe, Jock.
