Which historical real-life military person had the best mustache?
GurKhan	02 Apr 2021 2:34 p.m. PST
Alp Arslan. "… he grew his moustache so long that, when out hunting, he was obliged to knot its ends behind his head that they should not interfere with his aim".

Hitler's and Stalin's were most impactful: though their mustaches differed in quality, both adorned the faces of those who changed the world for the very worst.

W.W. Cooke of 7th cavalry fame.

Yosemite Sam.

Herbert H. Kitchner's moustache was quite impressive. Actually, Hitler had quite the moustache in his pre-WWI days. Unfortunately, you can't get a good seal on a gas mask with something like that, so it was necessary to switch to the toothbrush style. Grelber

General Sir Redvers Buller springs to mind.
Chimpy	02 Apr 2021 7:20 p.m. PST
Well I'm going to go with General Annibale Bergonzoli AKA Barba Elettrica (Electric Whiskers) mainly because it's such a cool nickname.
Prince Alberts Revenge	02 Apr 2021 7:30 p.m. PST
For me, its Josef Pilsudksi and Ambrose Burnside.
Escapee	02 Apr 2021 8:27 p.m. PST
+1 for Burnside. His attached to his side burns giving him the most unique look.

Ok, if I had gone with a real person half of TMP would have had a heart attack. So going with the "get real" flow how about Hiram Berdan? Inventor of the Berdan Rifle and commander of Berdan's sharpshooters.

Ok, if I had gone with a real person half of TMP would have had a heart attack. But Yosemite Sam has a great mustache! Rick

Another vote for Vercingetorix ! Or his statue, at least.
Cerdic	03 Apr 2021 7:49 a.m. PST
If the Bayeux Tapestry is to be believed, it's got to be Harold Godwinson…
Frederick	03 Apr 2021 9:13 a.m. PST
For sheer impact, Kitchener of Khartoum
Zeelow	03 Apr 2021 11:51 a.m. PST
Ditto Bashytubits' #1 sagely observation.
John the Greater	03 Apr 2021 2:15 p.m. PST
D'oh. Chimpy got to Electric Whiskers before I could suggest him. Maybe Winfield Scott Hancock?

Who says Yosemite Sam is not authentic? I have proof otherwise.
