Seven score years ago today, the icon and mascot of this weblog was born.
Lt.-Col. Strutt was the British officer who was sent on a mission under the personal initiative of His Britannic Majesty George V to command the protection of the Austro-Hungarian Imperial-Royal Family in its internal exile. The Lt.-Col. scared almost the living daylights out of Dr. Karl Renner, Chancellor of the “Republic of Austria,” so the Imperial-Royal Family could leave without any abdication.
Lt.-Col. Strutt became Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire shortly after this mission.
Please feel free to browse posts on the late officer.
