Reply to comment by Whyworkforfree in TIL that a French Soldier called Albert Severin Roche, had personally captured 1,180 prisoners. He was called the "first soldier of France" by allied supreme commander Marechal Foch by miragen125

Even managed to work in a long career as a talk show host with everything else!

Reply to comment by JesusUnoWTF in TIL that George "Washington" Carver never formally used Washington as a middle name. He originally chose the middle initial W at random to ensure accurate mail delivery. Someone once asked if the "W" stood for Washington and Carver said "Why not?" He signed his name as George or George W. Carver. by AspireAgain

My grandad has no middle name.

When he was in the military they gave him the letter 'N' for his middle initial for "None" lol
