Who is your favourite historical figure?

Charles Darwin

Aircraftman T E Shaw. (Lawrence of Arabia)

His stories have been roundly trashed over recent years only for even more recent research/evidence to show that he was telling the truth all the time.

I suspect, though that he also takes some of the blame for the current mess in the Middle East.

General George S. Patton !

Rocky Balboa. "Yo, Adrian".

Bruce Lee

Colonel Joshua L.Chamberlain

Since Charles Robert Darwin has already been mentioned....,

Lucius Sergius Catiline

The old moonshine runners of the south
