Description

In 1911, he wears clothes similar to his attire in 1907. Additionally, Uncle can be seen wearing a single beige glove on his right hand and his bandana seems to have bleached. His beard now has a yellow-brown stain. He also appears to have shrunk, likely due to his age. Outlaws to the End • Legends and Killers • Liars and Cheats • Undead Nightmare • Hunting and Trading Outfits • Deadly Assassin Outfit • War Horse • Golden Guns In " The Aftermath of Genesis," Uncle is seen drinking whiskey in the kitchen with Pearson after Charles Smith and Arthur Morgan return from a hunting trip. After a brief exchange of banter, Arthur shoos Uncle away. The final word should be left to one who served under him. ‘“Bill” Slim was to us, averred Antony Brett-James, ‘a homely sort of general: on his jaw was carved the resolution of an army, in his stern eyes and tight mouth reside all the determination and unremitting courage of a great force. His manner held much of the bulldog, gruff and to the point, believing in every one of us, and as proud of the “Forgotten Army” as we were. I believe that his name will descend into history as a badge of honour as great as that of the “Old Contemptibles.” Sadly, Slim’s name and achievements have not done what Brett-James hoped, and it is now the responsibility of a new generation to understand and appreciate his achievements.’

An iconic image of Bill Slim shows him carrying an M1 carbine as a personal weapon during the Burma Campaign. Less seen but just as present was his personal Webley revolver, which he carried as a sidearm throughout the Second World War. Bill is well versed in various medical and pharmaceutical fields, as seen where he successfully created various performance-enhancing drugs to enhance the physical and mental abilities of his assassins. It's also been implied that Bill himself was also capable of creating various other drugs, such as a truth serum.

Uncle was born in Ohio at some point prior to the fall of 1849. [1] He had an "uncle" named Jeb (who was actually the cousin of his maternal uncle), who Uncle implies to be a pedophile, saying that he was a man that "you didn't want to be left alone with". Uncle was nine years old when both of his parents died, forcing him to move to a new city and "live on his wits" from there on out. [2] He was also married at least twice before 1899.

William Charles Boyden-Mitchell - Wikipedia

To the British, Gurkha, Indian and Commonwealth soldiers he commanded, he was a true ‘soldier’s General’, building his Army’s fighting capability by ensuring their training, morale and welfare. To his superiors and the officers around him, he built a justified reputation as a sound commander with a keen eye for logistic detail and the administrative requirements of larger forces, as well as an ability rapidly to evaluate a situation before taking advantage of developments. This skill was nowhere more clearly shown than during the re-conquest of the central Burma plains. At the same time, his interpersonal skills were such that even the acerbic American General ‘Vinegar’ Joe Stilwell accepted his command.In 1907, after helping John build his ranch, Uncle can sometimes be seen lazing about in the exact spot where he dies in 1911.

The stories were popular with children and adults alike. When interviewed by Dan van der Vat in 1975 for The Times, Bill Mitchell revealed that he had left England 26 years previously and felt that it had become "an alien land" to which he had no wish to return. However his stories paint a nostalgic picture of an England from bygone days and helped give listeners stationed abroad during the Cold War era a "morale-boosting link with home". [5] Urban myths and legends [ edit ] Occasionally, Arthur may joke with Uncle about his age, to which Uncle laughs and replies with "I'll outlive you all"; this turns out to be true, due to him being the last member of the gang to die, just before the Marstons. The actor cast to play Uncle in Red Dead Redemption 2, John O'Creagh, died during production. He was replaced by James McBride, though O'Creagh's singing lines remain in the game. A location in the game, O'Creagh's Run, was named after the late actor. Whilst Bill is mobile with a frame, he has a fear of falling, so that also needed to be factored in by the team at West Park Care with a full disability assessment, Deborah advised, “Having had a number of falls, Uncle Bill now knows to wait for his carer to arrive in the morning, before getting out of bed. They look after him so well, from a full wash and shave, applying creams and sorting his catheter. Discussing what he wants to eat each week and letting him choose from a range of meals from Parsley Box meals. It isn’t just functional care; they genuinely look after him and you can see how happy he is. They even flag up health concerns such as a skin rash he developed last week and liaise with his GP to ensure it was treated. From my own perspective, since being diagnosed with cancer myself earlier this year and being in and out of hospital, I have total faith knowing how well my uncle is being looked after, so I can have time to focus on myself when needed too”.William Charles Boyden-Mitchell (born 1922 - died 1988 in Norwich, Norfolk), [1] [ failed verification] better known as Bill Mitchell or Uncle Bill, [2] was a radio presenter and broadcasting personality. He became known through his work with the BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Service) during the 1960s and 70s, broadcasting to service Personnel of the British Army of the Rhine ( BAOR), Royal Air Force Germany (RAFG) and their families who were stationed in what was then West Germany. He achieved a cult following due to his eccentricities and his ‘Big Wood Stories’ that he wrote himself and performed live on the radio. For actual emergency combat, Bill also had a drug secretly hidden in his molar, that when ingested enhances his physical power and causes him to bulk up into a large muscular.
