My grandfather was a general by the end of the warand his father was a general before him.
He was one of the earlier casualties of WW1, apparently the order was given to go forward so he hopped up out of the trench armed with nothing but a swagger cane and was instantly shot to bits - he survived only because at the stage they had very few injured - six months later he'd have been left to die.
