Horatio Herbert Kitchener, 1850-1916, First Earl Kitchener, etc. British
Soldier and Statesman. I don't know who should be more embarrassed: you, as an
Australian, for not knowing your British Statesmen (thought he was PM at one
point), or me, for _knowing_ the most important thing about him was that he had
a big distinctive moustache ; )
But medieval kitcheners were around first, his family is probably named for
one.
