As a big fan of Snoopy in my youth, he was often pretending to sit on his doghouse and be a WW1 ace pilot after the Red Baron.
But it was on this day in 1918 that a Canadian fighter pilot shot the famed pilot down.
Chalk one up for King & Country. Now, while Arthur Brown was Canadian, I still imagine he settled his nerves after that dogfight with a good cuppa.
Which is good as today is the UK's National Tea Day.
And chief of all things British is the Queen. Queen Elizabeth II was born this day in 1926.
She's 96 today.
