Talk:Sir William Blunt-Instrument

Now, the trouble is: how was he knighted for that?--Old Dickens 00:46, 24 May 2007 (CEST)

By which I meant: shouldn't we learn something about the title character first? --Old Dickens 23:21, 12 January 2008 (CET)

The ranks I gave were those given by TP. The titles you've changed them to are those the Roundworld historical figures achieved. And Wikipedia lists Shrapnel as Major-Gen.--Knmatt 23:51, 12 January 2008 (CET)

Curious. His own Wikipedia article and several other bios say he reached Lt.-General in his old age, but at least one more agrees with the "shrapnel" article. --Old Dickens 00:20, 13 January 2008 (CET)

Oh well. Suffice it to say that he was a relatively well-thought-of and respected militarian. And he invented a truly vile way for millions to die. No wonder that humanity venerates his memory...--Knmatt 00:39, 13 January 2008 (CET)
