Picking up on the Waterloo veteran thing, there was a 14yr old subaltern with, I think, the Skins, who were on the frontal slope during the French barrage who survived the battle despite huge losses to his battalion. He lived until a ripe old age as I recall & anyone who was born in the 1880's could have met him. Plenty of young soldiers of similar age who saw action in the Napoleonic wars & later Crimea. My dads mum was born in the 1880s & only croaked in the late 70's. She had relatives still alive in the 30's who'd fought in the Crimea. The generational gaps can be quite significant & span centuries in short order.
Indeed. The last survivor of the Crimean War actually died in 2004. I saw these driving down the motorway recently.

I'm sure they provide a valuable service but do they really need the livery?

He was a frequent site around some parts, always getting involved with stuff he shouldn't
Not seem him in a while, wonder where he has gone

You see loads of battenburged-up vans around London with "Dog Unit" on them and drivers wearing dark blue shirts with pockets, dark blue trouser and dark blue baseball caps.https://www.facebook.com/BarkinBillyAndTheScrapyar...
Buuuut, the guy sounds a bit Walt-y!
