I was vaguely aware of a writer who was fairly prevalent in the 1960s and went by the pen-name of Saki - there were others who used the same identification system at the time, Mandrake, Beachcomber, etc.

Imagine my surprise to discover that someone who seemed fairly current when I was a child was actually killed by a sniper in 1916...
