The article states that he's in one of the Cambridgeshire regiments. Can't we tell which one by the cap badge? To my eyes the cap badge appears to show a castle, like that on the badge of the KOSB.
These words from someone who, over the space of four series spanning several centuries, had become known to the public as an egotistical, self-centered, cynical, blunt, sly, thieving, corrupt, villainous, yet curiously likable character, went a long way to underline the serious, sobering mood of this episode. In these last few moments of this momentous sitcom all the clever put-downs, the witty one-liners, the slapstick and the turnip jokes, were pushed aside and the viewers realised that this was no longer a comedy but a harsh, cruel and grim statement of fact.
This is poor encyclopedia tone and original research, which needs to be edited out at some point. SGGH speak! 15:24, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
The final episode of 'Blackadder Goes Forth' leave open the possibility Captain Blackadder survived the charge. Therefore his demise may not have been in 1917. GoodDay ( talk) 21:20, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
What's the source for Captain Blackadder having been awarded the Military Cross? I think the only medal ribbons he wears are the Queen's South Africa Medal, the King's South Africa Medal and the 1914 (or 1914-15) Star. Opera hat ( talk) 11:25, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
where did that birth date come from? that would have made blackadder 46 in 1917. awfully old for a captain, particularly in war time. not to mention the fact that atkinson was 35 in 1990. Toyokuni3 ( talk) 04:21, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
