As I was watching last night's Daily Show just now, There was a bit about fictional British soldiers who died during WWII and thought I share . Just go down to the British Fallen Solders clip and click on it.

Ha! This made me think of a history class I took as an undergrad, years ago, on Modern Britain, where we students had to simulate a debate in Parliament in 1936 about the League of Nations. We all gave ourselves silly names; I think I was a Conservative MP named Peregrine Witherspoon-Greensleeves, or something like that. Good times...

There's a soldier charactor from (I think) the BBC radio show The Goons called Private Parts.

For some reason the video is not available for me. I will have to hunt on the telly.

Strange, very strange.
