Lieutenant Colonel A. D. Wintle (1897 - 1966) was a British military officer in the Royal Dragoons, who served in both World Wars.

Never without his trademark monocle, service revolver, and trusty umbrella, Wintle wasn’t the master of disguise he thought he was – but he certainly wasn’t going to let that stop him from having a go.

A decorated war hero, Wintle also saw the inside of a surprisingly large number of prison cells. Most of them in England.

However, Wintle was also the first non-lawyer to achieve a unanimous verdict in his favour at a trial in the House of Lords. Clearly, every man jack of them agreed with Wintle that the debagging of crooked solicitors is every Englishman’s duty.
