Until I'd read this thread and the relevant one on AARSE, I hadn’t realised the extent of the “Walter Mitty” subculture that seems to exist throughout Australasia, UK and North America and whose collective fantasies feed on stylised perceptions of what can be termed the western military ethos.
I’ve just checked out
The Legion of Frontiersmen website and with bemused curiosity, clicked
Other Commands which details the “Commandant General” at “Commonwealth Command Headquarters”, as Lieutenant General Ronald J Potter LMSM, LSEM, LCM (no “K” with such a distinguished rank?). A quick Google search showed only one link (strange, as surely such a gallant figure would occasion more references in the course of a glittering career?) titled
Legion of Frontiersmen (Countess Mountbatten's Own), corrected and updated 14.07.2006 and containing details of uniform, medals, battle honours etc.
Harmless fantasy? It all made my skin crawl a little.
