Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information

    Fraser, George Macdonald

    When the Highlanders got to Fort Yarhuna, it was a real 'Beau Geste' fort in North Africa, a fact that was not lost on McAuslan, who was evidently a great fan of the Gary Cooper film. What was the reaction of Dand (nicknamed Darkie) to McAuslan's remark 'Hey, mebbe Darkie'll prop up wir deid bodies like that ( ) o' a sergeant in the pictur'?"McAuslan in the Rough" - George MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      He thought 'I'll wear gloves if I prop you up'. McAuslan is notoriously dirty - probably the dirtiest soldier in the world. 'Bo Geesty' is a wonderful story about a buried treasure of over one million pre-war Italian lire and 'ghosts in the fort'. Note: For non-Scottish readers, there is a glossary to the book to explain some of the more obscure dialect words used. McAuslan actually said 'Hey, maybe Darkie'll prop up our dead bodies like that ( ) of a sergeant in the picture'.

    To present a guard at Edinburgh Castle, Dand and the Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM) had to pick a sergeant, corporal and the five smartest men of the company. Following a ghastly accident with a tin of yellow paint and a soldier called Grant, McAuslan ('the dirtiest soldier in the world') became one of the guard. What is not something that happened to McAuslan?'The General Danced at Dawn' - G. MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      One kilt buckle snapped, he hadn't done the other one up, and his kilt fell down in front of royalty. All the wrong answers did indeed happen to McAuslan (the RSM managed to remove the live rounds before 'ease springs'!), but it was Dand who nearly became known as 'the Man Whose Kilt Fell off in Front of Royalty at Edinburgh Castle'. He had to hold his kilt up with his saluting hand, so he turned smartly about, arm akimbo (giving a Rupert of Hentzau touch), marched up to the saluting base, saluted left-handed, turned about and marched through the Castle gateway. When Dand told the Colonel why he was 'standing like a blasted ballet dancer' at the end, the Colonel 'went green, then white, and then he sat down on a bench and began to make little moaning sounds'. 'Guard at the Castle' was made into a BBC Comedy Playhouse in 1972, which is where I discovered McAuslan for the first time.

    The story 'The Subtleties of Baccarat' deals with a real-life scandal of 1891 - 92. It concerned an illegal game of baccarat at a country-house party and a slander case over an allegation of cheating. Which prominent person was involved?George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman Novels (TabbyTom)

      The Prince of Wales. The case of Gordon-Cumming v. Wilson and Others is mentioned in various works about the English law of defamation.

    The second Flashman novel is based on the same idea as Anthony Hope's 'Prisoner of Zenda'. Flashman has to impersonate a European prince. What is the title of this novel?George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman Novels (TabbyTom)

      Royal Flash.

    The new Colonel of the battalion organised a golf match against the Royals - and McAuslan was a caddy. What was not something McAuslan did during the match? "McAuslan in the Rough" - George MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      Gave the R.S.M. a number 9 iron in the bunker, with which he hit the ball right to the lip of the hole. McAuslan was illiterate, and couldn't read the club numbers. He actually gave the R.S.M. a number 2 club, a driving iron - totally unsuitable for playing out of a bunker. But the R.S.M. played a magnificent shot with it and tells McAuslan to get a pint of beer from the sergeant's mess (the back door!) and thanks McAuslan for being his caddy!

    In the story 'The General Danced at Dawn', during the retiring Colonel's last inspection by a Very Senior, very Highland General (Sir Roderick MacCrimmon, K.C.B., D.S.O., and bar) what was not one of the things that went horribly wrong? 'The General Danced at Dawn' - G. MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      The regiment made a hash of the Highland dancing. Also a fire had broken out in the cookhouse, a bren-gun carrier had broken down and litter was found in 'B' company's garden. In short, everything that could have gone wrong, had. So although the General was expecting to see the dancing go wrong, it was really good stuff.

    In the eponymous story 'The General Danced at Dawn', which famous figure would the pipe-sergeant (who took the officers for highland dancing on Tuesday and Thursday morning) have got on 'a fair treat' with?'The General Danced at Dawn' - G. MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      Ninette de Valois. The pipe-sergeant is a technically perfect highland dancer who has performed in front of royalty. Twice a week the officers have to get up at five thirty in the morning and dance in the MT shed. The pipe sergeant keeps up a running commentary to 'rebuke, encourage and commend'. '..Observe the fine feet of Captain MacAlpine. He springs like a startled ewe' 'Boldly, proudly, that's the style of the masterful Mr Cameron: his caber feidh is wonderful, it is fit to frighten Napoleon' 'how he knacks his thoos, God bless him'. The colonel used to think that the pipe-sergeant must drink solidly from three a.m. to 'get into that elevated condition'. Now he just thinks the man's 'bewitched'. Dame Ninette de Valois was a dancer, choreographer and founder of what became the Royal Ballet. All the wrong answers are also famous as dancers.

    In 'The Whisky and the Music', it is explained why it would, in those days, have been better to have been invited to one mess (sort of like a club). Which would have been better - the officers' or the sergeants' mess?'The General Danced at Dawn' - G. MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      sergeants. As Dand explains, 'the ignorant or unwary would probably choose the officers'. not necessarily from reasons of snobbery, but from the idea that 'the standards of cuisine, comfort and general atmosphere would be higher'. The story goes on to explain that there is generally a mix of youth and age in an officers' mess, but the sergeants are more similar, of young-middle-aged men. It also explains that the sergeants 'look after their creature comforts with an expertise born of long service in hard times'. I don't know whether this is still true nowadays, but it certainly was twenty odd years ago - and even more so in the 'arid post-war years'.

    In 'The General Danced at Dawn', the General led the regiment in a sixteensome reel. Having done that, he told the pipe-sergeant that he once heard that the First Black Watch sergeants danced a thirty-two some - and proceeded to organise one to its conclusion - even though the convolutions were murder. The General then begged the pipe-sergeant to see if they could dance a sixty-foursome on the lawn, with the lights of trucks. It took place, and by the time (one hour thirteen minutes later) it finished the Fusiliers from the adjoining barracks, assorted Arabs and the military mobile police patrol had come to gaze in amazement. What happened next? 'The General Danced at Dawn' - G. MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      Some say that a one hundred and twenty-eightsome reel was danced on the parade ground that night, General Sir Roderick MacCrimmon presiding and that it was danced to a conclusion, all figures. Some say it happened - all Dand remembers is 'a heaving rushing crowd, like a mixture of Latin Carnival and Scarlett's uphill charge at Balaclava, surging ponderously to the sound of the pipes'. But Dand also distinctly recalls one set 'in which the General, the pipe-sergeant, and what looked like a genuine Senussi in a burnous, swept by roaring 'one, two, three' and also that he, Dand, personally, was part of a swinging human chain in which his immediate partners were the Fusiliers' cook-sergeant and an Italian cafe proprietor from down the road'. Dand's memory tells him that it 'rose to a tremendous crescendo just as the first light of dawn stole over Africa'. Nobody remembered the General's departure, but the Colonel thought he had been there and the General cried with emotion. The inspection report congratulated not only the battalion, but also highly commended the pipe-sergeant on the standard of the officers' dancing - which the pipe-sergeant found a mixed blessing, as 'the night's proceedings had been an offence to his orthodox soul'.

    In 'Play Up, Play Up and Get Tore In', Dand took the regimental football (soccer) team on a tour of the Mediterranean. Who was the evil Welsh captain of the ship that took them, who was most upset about 'having his fine vessel used as a blasted hotel for a lot of blasted pongos, and Scotch pongos at that'? 'The General Danced at Dawn' - G. MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      Samuels. Samuels was a black-hearted man indeed. When he learnt how good the team was, he wanted to make a killing by betting on them and passing them off as the ship's crew. Dand stops him as soon as he finds out what he is up to, but Samuels carries on trying to make money off them in betting scams. 'Pongo' is a derogative name used by the Navy and Air Force about the Army. Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is a name of a Welsh village and is the longest name in Britain - it means 'St. Mary's Church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio of the red cave'. It also has a web page - Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.co.uk, which they claim as the longest url on the web.

    In 'Parfit Gentil Knight, But' the unsavoury McAuslan was smitten with the beautiful Ellen Ramsay, a colonel's daughter, after rescuing her from ruffians in the Old Suk. What was not a description of McAuslan from this story? "McAuslan in the Rough" - George MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      Tartan Caliban. McAuslan actually asks Ellen to marry him and is refused. He gets roaring drunk and spills his soul out to Dand in an extremely harrowing scene. McAuslan was described as a 'Tartan Caliban', but not in this story.

    In 'Monsoon Selection Board', we meet McAuslan's biographer, Dand McNeill. In a written test, a picture was flashed on the screen and the candidate had to write down his instant reaction. Unfortunately, Dand had three reactions - 'mental numbness', followed by the normal reaction, followed by the one which he was 'sure would be as abnormal to a degree', which, naturally, he wrote down. What was not something poor Dand wrote down for 'sex'? 'The General Danced at Dawn' - G. MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      Birds and bees. 'Birds and bees' would have been normal. Dand wrote down 'Grable' (Betty Grable, an actress and pin-up girl renowned for her beautiful legs), then panicked and crossed it out and wrote 'Freud' (known for his interesting psychoanalytic theories about sex and repression), then panicked again and wrote 'Lamour' (Dorothy Lamour, an actress renowned for the Hope & Crosby 'Road to..' films). At this point he became aware that one of the examiners was staring at his answers... Obviously he had fallen behind by then and when they eventually flashed 'Freud' up Dand's reaction may have been 'Father Grable', which, as he points out 'must have made them think'.

    In 'Monsoon Selection Board' the general view of the Army was that Selection Boards 'weren't fit to select bus conductors, let alone officers'. How did McNeill, Hayhurst and Martin-Duggan get through (the real reason)? 'The General Danced at Dawn' - G. MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      The loss of McNeill's pants/trousers. Initiative, leadership, ingenuity, intelligence and cheerfulness are what they should have shown - throughout the board, after a series of mishaps, what they did show was 'lacking in initiative, deficient in moral fibre, prone to recrimination, and generally un-officer-like'. Guts is what the C.O. and the rest of the examiners thought they had shown on the assault course when they tried valiantly (but failed) to finish the course. It wasn't until they were alone that McNeill explained the reason he would not budge out of the last ditch and over the last obstacle (though doing as much as possible to look as if he was trying) was that his trousers had come off while wading through the ditch and Dand 'was not going to appear soaked and in his shirt-tail before all the board and candidates, not for anything'. So although they probably got through for showing 'grit, determination and endurance', what really got them through was the loss of his pants!

    In 'McAuslan's Court-Martial', McAuslan was court-martialled for disobedience - much to the disappointment of his 'soldier's friend' (his defending officer), as the last time he was mixed up with Highlanders the charge was 'murder, arson, and making away with Government property in the face of the enemy'. This 'soldier's friend' was a Captain, a 'thin. nervous, Cockney Jew' with 'enormous horn-rimmed spectacles'. His name's Einstein, and he begs for no mathematical jokes. What does Einstein say he's thinking of changing his name to? 'The General Danced at Dawn' - G. MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      Shylock. At least he wouldn't get mathematical jokes. Einstein looks to Dand like a villain, and spends his time swilling whisky and being a shark on the snooker table. However, he is as brilliant as his namesake and gets McAuslan off with an extremely unexpected last-minute witness.

    In 'Johnnie Cope in the Morning', Dand described his recruit training, when he was woken from a sound sleep at 5.30 by a villainous orderly sergeant and made to scrub a six-foot wooden table with cold water. He used to contrast his ordeal with that of Louis XIV, who was woken by a velvet-soled shoed valet drawing the curtains back and whispering 'It is my humble duty and profound honour to inform your majesty that it is eight-thirty of the clock'. Dand used to dream of the orderly sergeant being transported back to old Versailles. What did he think would happen then?"McAuslan in the Rough" - George MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      All of these (It would have done Louis XIV nothing but good, It would have possibly have averted the French revolution, The orderly sergeant would have been flung into an oubliette in the Bastille for lese majesty, there to rot with his red sash and copy of King's Regulation, while virtuous recruits in the twentieth century drowsed on until the late forenoon). Dand dreamed of the sergeant clumping 'into the Sun King's bedroom in tackety boots at 5.30, guffawing obscenely, thrashing the fire-irons against the fender, and bawling: 'Levez-vous donc, Jean Crapaud! Wake-eye, wake-eye! Getcher froid pieds on the chaud terre! I can see yer, you frog-eating chancer! Har! Har!' - a French version of what he went through. I believe this sort of training is now known as psychological and physical bullying, but it made some very fine soldiers.

    In 'His Majesty Says Good-Day' Dand and McAuslan were returned to civilian life. What did Dand say would be served at the War Office?"McAuslan in the Rough" - George MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      Champagne. The end of the story suggests that even when Dand had no further responsibility for McAuslan ('He was free, white (well, greyish) and twenty-one') he still felt for him. I hope you've enjoyed the quiz - I commend the books to you, and look out for the other two quizzes ('The General Danced at Dawn' and 'The Sheikh and the Dustbin').

    In 'General Knowledge, Private Information', Dand was asked 'What were the names of the five seventeenth-century statesmen whose initials made up the word "Cabal"?'. In a magnificent effort he got four of them. What was the one he missed? "McAuslan in the Rough" - George MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      A - Arlington. Clifford, Ashley, Buckingham, Arlington and Laurieston. Dand was very upset not to get Arlingon, as it was apparently 'the name of a private baths in the West End of Glasgow - if you can't remember that sort of thing, what can you remember?'. A sentence in this story makes me smile. Published in 1974, it says 'There are no such general knowledge quizzes nowadays'. This was before 'Trivial Pursuit', pub quizzes and even funtrivia.com.

    In 'Fly Men', Dand had to round up 800 soldiers from an Arab town on a Saturday night with the threat of a smallpox epidemic, and mused on the strange things he'd had to do. What was not a duty Dand had been previously been detailed for in his brief army career as a subaltern?"McAuslan in the Rough" - George MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      Deliver a sermon in Finnish. Dand had led an extremely varied existence, and comments that had he been asked to redecorate the Sistine Chapel or deliver a sermon in Finnish, he would hardly have batted an eyelid before running to the Regimental Sergeant Major (R.S.M.) for help. 'This was in the days when the British Army was still spread all around the globe, acting as sentry, policeman, nurse and diplomat in the wake of the Second World War, and getting no thanks for it at all'. In the light of Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia et al, has anything much changed?

    In 'Flashman at the Charge', Flashman is held as a prisoner of war on the estate of a Russian count. Which of his old schoolfellows does he meet there?George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman Novels (TabbyTom)

      Scud East.

    In 'Flash for Freedom', what is the occupation of John Charity Spring?George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman Novels (TabbyTom)

      Slave trader. We can only guess how Fraser thought up this man's name, but in 'Tom Brown's Schooldays', Tom's nursemaid is called Charity Lamb.

    In 'Bo Geesty', Dand MacNeill was anxious to get back to his first independent command at Fort Yarhuna, as second lieutenant Keith had been left in charge. Keith was only twenty years old and heaven knew what 'youthful folly he might commit' without Dand's greater age and judgement. How old and what rank was Dand?"McAuslan in the Rough" - George MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      Twenty-one and a first lieutenant. 'Keith was a mere pink-chipped one-pipper of twenty years,' whereas Dand 'had reached the grizzled maturity of twenty-one' and his 'second star'.

    Having won all their games on the Mediterranean tour, the Military Governor fixed them up with an unexpected final game - against the Navy (yes, all of it!). In an amazing game, 'the wee boys' beat them 5-4. Dand remarked when the winning goal was scored 'At such times, when all around is bedlam, the man of mark is distinguished by his nonchalance and deportment'. So he took out a cigarette and struck a match. What happened next?'The General Danced at Dawn' - G. MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      He set fire to his sporran, roared aloud, dropped cigarettes, case and matches, and scrambled on his knees along the floor of the box trying to beat the flames out. By the time Dand had put himself out 'the box was full of smoke and a most disgusting stench' and 'one of the Admiral's aides was looking round and muttering that expressions of triumph were all very well, but the line should be drawn somewhere'. The evil Samuels had put a bet on the team before he knew they were playing the Navy, using not only his money, but the ship's crew and the Jocks' pay as well. However, he didn't triumph, because McAuslan, obeying Dand's instructions to fraternise with the crew, had got the man detailed to spend the bet on drink and Samuels lost out.

    Having become an officer, Dand McNeill left the Fourteenth Army and joined his Highland regiment in 'Silence in the Ranks'. We met some of the characters he was going to be serving with, and he heard a lot of nicknames. Which nickname is not matched with the right person?'The General Danced at Dawn' - G. MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      Leishmann - 'Chick'. Leishmann's nickname was 'Soapy' - 'Chick' was Dand's batman (a soldier servant who acts as a sort of valet to an officer) McGilvray.

    Having become an officer, Dand McNeill had a rotten first few days. His service dress didn't fit, a liverish major cursed him when he broke a glass and he didn't yet have a good relationship with his platoon (D Company). He got on better in the officer's mess when he and the liverish major beat the Adjudant and the Medical Officer (M.O.) in ludo doubles '(In stations where diversion is limited games like ludo tend to get elevated above their usual status.)' What happened on Hogmanay?'The General Danced at Dawn' - G. MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      Dand, having forgotten a mess meeting, had been given a week's orderly officer and was confined to barracks. While in disgrace, some of his platoon came and drank with him in his room.. Because Dand is in trouble, McGilvray, Brown, Fletcher (the platoon dandy), Forbes and Leishmann visit him in his room with beer and whisky. It occurred to Dand that 'the penalty for an officer drinking in his own billet with enlisted men was probably death, or the equivalent, but frankly, if Montgomery himself had appeared in the doorway I couldn't have cared less'. They have a few beers, a few cigarettes, a couple of whiskies and Dand realises that his platoon accepts him. He had previously decided that he wasn't the 'Tiberius type ("Let them hate me as long as they fear me") and had got over wanting a transfer. Hogmanay is the Scottish New Year (despite a player in my quiz team once trying to convince me that the meaning of hegemony (the predominant influence in a society) was 'what the Scots call New Year'!)

    Flashman married Elspeth Morrison. Where did her father come from and what was his occupation?George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman Novels (TabbyTom)

      Scottish manufacturer.

    Besides the Flashman novels, Flashman also appears (at the age of 90 or thereabouts) in another of Fraser's novels. This is the story of an American silver miner with a chequered past who settles in England for five years before the First World War. What is the title of this novel?George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman Novels (TabbyTom)

      Mr American .

    At the end of his journey in 'Night Run to Palestine' what was the only prohibition of the Army Act that Dand didn't think he'd committed?'The General Danced at Dawn' - G. MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      'unatural conduct of a cruel kind, in that he threw a cat against a wall'. The military finds work for idle hands and Dand was sent on Troop Train 42 to Jerusalem while waiting for a court of inquiry as to why he'd missed a flight. On the journey he went in for 'insubordination, permitting a prisoner to escape, countenancing illegal trafficking in currency, threatening a superior, conduct unbecoming an officer in that he had upbraided a clergyman' - and probably a few other assorted offences. He also changed his first nappy! Dand was given three days Orderly Officer by his CO (mostly for forcing the CO to read the inquiry report) but the other exploits never came to light.

    Along with the court-martial in 'McAuslan's Court Martial' there is a story of the regimental sports day. A pair of twins known as the Bullet-Headed Little Bandits were odds-on favourites for the infants foot race, but Donnie stumbled, his twin Davie checked automatically and a foxy-faced little Cameron won. When being presented with his second prize by a Royal Duchess who told him he was unlucky not to win, Davie said with a broad Glaswegian accent 'Ach, yon Cameron ----- tripped me. It was a ----- swiz'. What happened?'The General Danced at Dawn' - G. MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      The RSM explained to the Duchess, in a whisper audible throughout the audience 'He is saying "Thank you very much", Your Highness. In Gaelic'. The Duchess's smile did not falter for an instant, and she said as little Donnie trotted away (looking rather like a cute little Highland bull) 'How very nice of him. How awfully nice'.

    According to 'Johnnie Cope in the Morning', what was an effect of 'Johnnie Cope' played at six a.m. from approximately six feet away, through a thin shutter, full blast, 'with twenty pipers tearing their lungs out and a dozen side-drums crashing into the thunderous rhythm' on a 'refined and highly-strung subaltern' who was 'dreaming of Rita Hayworth'?"McAuslan in the Rough" - George MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      Brought the sleeper out of bed like a galvanised ferret, blankets and all. 'Johnnie Cope' is a fabulous pipe tune (yes, there is such a thing!) which commemorates the victory of the Highlanders in 1745 over the Hanoverian army, led by Sir John Cope - sometimes described as 'Bonnie Prince Charlie's finest hour'. The pipe band used to wake up the subalterns by playing this. Thanks to Lieutenant Mackenzie, this is stopped, and they all realise how much they miss it. At the end of the story, the narrator says how sad he is that he will never again hear 'Johnnie Cope' in the morning.

    'Wee Wullie' is an amazing story. He was a huge man 'with a prediliction for strong drink and violent trouble'. But he was protected, and would always be, right up to High Command, because during the war, he had gallantly walked through the desert in a failed attempt to save a fallen enemy. Why didn't he get a medal for this? 'The General Danced at Dawn' - G. MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      While in hospital he got drunk, petrified the nurses, got out on the roof where he sang 'The Ball of Kirriemuir' (all seventy-odd verses), broke a Military Policeman's jaw when they tried to get him in and then fell off the roof and got concussion (He got drunk when he was attached to the motor transport section and put a three-ton truck through a brick wall, He picked a fight with the American Marines, He fell in a river in an alcoholic stupor and had to be rescued). When he was found, Wullie had been marching for at least two days, his face was black and he was nearly dead with thirst, but he had to be stopped physically because he would have marched forever, prepared to risk his life for an enemy. He probably would have been awarded a medal had it been a comrade. The 'Ball of Kirriemuir' is an extremely rude song, much beloved of the military and rugby clubs. All the wrong answers were also Wee Wullie exploits.

    'General Knowledge, Private Information' told of the story of an inter-battalion quiz. Dand was apparently a fund of esoteric knowledge. What was not something he quoted as knowing? "McAuslan in the Rough" - George MacDonald Fraser (Quiz_Beagle)

      How to dissect an adverbial clause. As Dand explains, his knowledge was all useless - other children knew such things as how to dissect an adverbial clause and 'the subjective of moneo'. This story was probably what made me a quizzer - the knowledge that I wasn't the only person with a head full of trivia. Apparently Casanova, Charlemagne and Hans Andersen were all born on 2 April.
