I remembered his name from F Troop.
Link
The end of the Civil War was near
When quite accidentally,
A hero who sneezed abruptly seized
Retreat and reversed it to victory.
His medal of honor pleased and thrilled
his proud little family group.
While pinning it on some blood was spilled
And so it was planned he'd command F Troop.
Where Indian fights are colorful sights
and nobody takes a lickin'
Where pale face and redskin
Both turn chicken.
When drilling and fighting get them down,
They know their morale can't droop.
As long as they all relax in town
Before they resume with a bang and a boom
F Troop.

It wasn't exactly a shock when the news broke this morning.
I'm amazed that in the 21st century the BBC and ITV (the old monopoly TV broadcasters) still pull all their programming when a royal dies. The BBC has taken one of its channels off air altogether.
Full disclosure - I'm not a Royalist. I don't mind them, but I think all the reverence is unjustified. _________________ Andy

Phil Coyne, the longtime Pittsburgh Pirates usher who followed the team from Forbes Field to Three Rivers Stadium to PNC Park, died Friday morning at the age of 102. Quick to share a smile, Coyne was an instantly recognizable figure in Pittsburgh’s ballparks for 81 years and a Pittsburgh institution even beyond his tenure as an usher. He worked more than 6,000 games from 1936-2018, when he finally retired weeks before his 100th birthday.
“Phil was and always will be a true Pirates legend,” Pirates chairman Bob Nutting said in a statement. _________________ 1970 VW (owned since 1972) and 1971 VW Convertible (owned since 1976), second owner of each.
