Revision as of 16:15, 25 April 2019
The wiki entry is rather uncommonly erroneous, there is a deal of speculation over the sex of Jackrum who could either be male or, as is suggested at the end of Monstorous Regiment, female.
- Yes, I thought the "he" was misleading. Perhaps the idea is to avoid spoilage, but I'd rather see it re-done on a spoiler template. ...--Old Dickens 16:09, 4 December 2006 (CET)
- Another overhaul of terms and pronouns has been done, but I wonder if there's a solution for everyone. Perhaps in an age of overwhelming correctness they should all be called "they". --Old Dickens (talk) 16:15, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
Possible Roundworld connection
Came across an article on Wikipedia about Hannah Snell. Not all her life story matches up to Jackrum's but there is the aspect of the wife continuing a military career in an effective disguise after her husbands death, surviving and retiring and the image could be thought similar to Jackrum's description. There's also mention of a pub - though I know that's more to do with Polly Perks. --Verity (talk) 17:37, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
