Whether charging at the Russians in the Battle of the Light Brigade, yelling at a judge, poisoning your friends, fighting an officer to protect a woman, charging into the darkness to slaughter — and be slaughtered by — the local populace, fighting Napoleon's forces at Waterloo, forging a communistic community, or being jailed for revolutionary activities, there is a specific trait in common with these four Mad-Bastard-Bambricks that sets them apart from all others, and which, time will only tell us, has perhaps been eradicated from our gene pool.

Each of these four people died without offspring.

Three of them had military involvement — one rising to the rank of Captain (by purchase.) another receiving the Victoria Cross, and one fighting in the Charge of the Light-brigade. The last of the M.B.Bs, Robert Prince Bambrick, my great-grand-father's uncle, was the first Bambrick born in Australia, jailed for organising a strike, which led to the foundation of the Labor Party in Australia, and founder of a communistic community in South Australia.

Each of them was a Mad Bastard Bambrick.
