My impression of fictional character, Corporal Spicer from "Quality Street" (1918) by James M. Barrie (d. 1937). The script describes him as a tactless laddish man, unlucky in love, who becomes a general and destroys himself with drink. Pictured wearing the uniform of a fictional unit of Cornish light hussar from the 1816 war. The story easily modifies to international settings and other conflicts.
