I'd like to start something if I may , I'm looking for examples of British Commonwealth Born Men of Inspiration from history.

Can be anyone you like that you are aware of that has ,in your eyes , done something truly noteworthy that maybe isn't as well known as others.

Only Criteria are :-

A ) Male / Men / Masculine.

B ) Born in The British Commonwealth.


A couple of examples to get the ball rolling :-



Richard Francis Burton

Before I post one I have a question: do they have to be real people or can it be a well known fictitious character? Erbwurst beat me to my choice for a real person. My choice for fictitious would be Tarzan.

William Fairbairn and Eric Anthony Sykes - Shanghai municipal police.
Whilst many have heard of the knife that shares their name, they are also responsible for many real life training techniques used in the military and law enforcement today.

It NEEDS to be real people I'm afraid.

But i did have a quick look around and THIS is apparently the person that inspired the story of Tarzan.
