Wow! Well done, Roger.

For the benefit of others that dont know of Alonzo (although I suspect some of you knew of him before I did, even if you didnt guess him from my weird 'hints' ... I only came across him last week) :-

(hence why I thought David might have a better chance of arriving at the answer)

Apparently he was a 'disciplinarian' towards his troops. He died when training troops in Texas. Now I have no evidence for this and I am open to being accused of being disrespectful ... but its well known that on manoeuvres or during target practice unpopular officers tend to get themselves accidentally shot.
