You may have a hint if you'd like!

(I do have to say now though, that this name is much more familiar than most of the ones you've all guessed lately! )

Hint, please!

(The military stuff may have misled me...)

Hint: No one has asked the basic question regarding his existence!

(yes, the military would mislead you, but when you see who it is you'll understand why I included it -- I hope!)

Real or imaginary?

(doh)

This is not a question, but I thought about fiction and then you mentioned when he was born and when he died. So, he's a soldier that died in WWII in a book, I'll bet. This is not a question.

Fictional Character :wink:

American as in US-ian, or as in from either of the American continents?
(Don't clarify if this will count as a question, I'll go with my assumption instead)

USA-ian (didn't count)

American means USA-ian, unless you say North or South "Merican!

Was the author of the book American?
