- snow keep He was a Companion of the Order of the Bath, one of the most senior orders of British chivalry. I have no idea who he was, or why he was granted that honour, but that alone (and it inevitably implies substantial coverage in all the journals of record, far beyond what WP:N or WP:V might require) means an automatic pass for notability in this piffling little website.
