In literature

Aitken appears in the 1980 book The Ghosts of Africa (by William Stevenson) as General "Ha-Ha Splendid" Aitken. He is generally portrayed sympathetically, as an "old boy" type British general and veteran of India. Engr105th (talk) 23:47, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rank Major General?

AFAIK he was sent back to England, demoted to Colonel, and then discharged. Regards, 212.23.103.126 (talk) 11:36, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
