    I read the list of military commanders posted in August of last year from the Wikipedia Encyclopedia with interest. What a very strange list it is!

    Augustus but not Lucullus,
    Beverly Robertson but not Bedford Forrest,
    Sir George Howard (who he?) but not JamesWolfe,
    Harry Smith but not Garnet Wolseley.

    I wonder what their criteria were?

    NEXT: Harry Smith?
