Casting around for a username when signing up, a copy of Military Operations: France and Belgium (I think it was one of the 1918 volumes) was sitting on my desk. The Official Historian, Brigadier-General Sir James Edmonds was nick-named 'Archimedes' and since inspiration was once again lacking (see my posts since 2001 for illustration of this), that's how I ended up with the username.
