En garde !
Krüger - November 17, 2005 06:11 PM (GMT)
Jean Baptiste Jules Bernadotte, Prince of Pontecorvo, King of Sweden and Norway under the name of Charles XIV John in 1818 (1763 - 1844), Marshal of France in 1804.
Kihameria - November 17, 2005 09:02 PM (GMT)
Bingo. You're go, Kruger.
Krüger - November 17, 2005 11:01 PM (GMT)
Good luck.
Krüger - November 18, 2005 08:59 PM (GMT)
*sigh*, your not very good :P
He's British, and he served in the Peninsula War, and later, India.

I'm not very good-ed for not ansewering within a certain time ?
Well, probably because I didnt want to sound like a fool for thinking he was King Alber the second of Belgium ?
Well, no matter. Is it by any chance Picton ?

Frontovik - November 19, 2005 06:34 PM (GMT)
Hugh Gough maybe?
Profler - November 19, 2005 08:28 PM (GMT)
It's not Viscount Combermere is it? Can't think of the face, but can recall the service.
Krüger - November 19, 2005 08:58 PM (GMT)
Frontovik, you bloody genius!
Frontovik - November 20, 2005 03:38 PM (GMT)
Wow, that was a guess after I read a bit on the Sikh war. I'll start looking for mine.
Frontovik - November 20, 2005 03:50 PM (GMT)
What is the class and nation of origion of the destroyer in the picture?
Looking at you profiler.
Krüger - November 20, 2005 07:11 PM (GMT)
Ceuta/Huesca class destroyer?
Frontovik - November 20, 2005 07:48 PM (GMT)
Nope, here's a hint, its not a European one.
Profler - November 21, 2005 10:39 PM (GMT)
Her lines look Japanese, inter war or WWII, though Soviet wouldn't be impossible. Afraid I couldn't hazard a guess as to the class.
Frontovik - November 22, 2005 02:22 PM (GMT)
You've got the nation of origion right.
Peachy Carnehan - November 25, 2005 12:56 AM (GMT)
Well, I'm not going to get this one. My expertise in terms of naval history stops at the difference between a carrier and a battleship. :lol:

I'm starthing to think no one will, If no one objects I'll post the answers tomrrow.
Falastur - November 25, 2005 11:20 AM (GMT)
heh. My expertise in terms of naval history stops at the end of the 18th Century, or thereabouts...and even then, my "expertise" before that is hardly "expertise".
Frontovik - November 27, 2005 11:00 PM (GMT)
Well its a Fubuki class destroyer, first launched in 1928 by Japan. Since Profler got very close (right nation and era) I say he gets the next question.
Profler - November 28, 2005 10:45 PM (GMT)
Two Royal Naval Officers deep in conversation, first to identify both of them gets a cookie.
Emperor Napoleon - November 30, 2005 10:25 PM (GMT)
hmmm, the guy on the left reminds me of the Freaking Kaiser
Falastur - December 1, 2005 03:26 PM (GMT)
The guy on the right reminds me of Roger Moore (a little) :blink:
I think I know the guy on the left, but it took me a little researching to work it out, so I won't say. Also, I'm not sure I could find a challenging-enough picture if I won this "round" anyway, so someone else can claim the glory.

Krüger - December 1, 2005 07:26 PM (GMT)
I know that on the right is Admiral Beatty.
So the guy on the left is probably Jellicoe?

British Lion - December 2, 2005 12:01 AM (GMT)
I differ with Mr Kruger slightly.
I say Jellicoe on the right and George V on the starboard side :huh:
Pre Battle of Jutland..possibly?
