Comments by "Big Blue" (@bigblue6917) on "Colonel Burnaby's Colourful Life and Death At Battle of Abu Klea" video.

Interestingly Churchill's son was to replace Chamberlain's son and Prime Minister in 1940. May I suggest two men for future biographies. One is Captain William Henry Shakespear. Like Burnaby he was a linguist and explorer. He had close friendship with ibn Saud who would later go on to become the king of Saudi Arabia. and like Burnaby was to die in battle. I also wish to put forward Sir Samuel Baker who, like Barnaby, was also an Victorian adventurer who did much to stop the slave trade and was a close friend of General Gordon. In fact Gordon had asked Baker tp go to Khartoum in his stead. Baker turned him down saying that his wife was against it, but you have to see how much history would have been changed if he and not Gordon had been at Khartoum.
