The classic one is a Upper Class British Army Officer. The type England used to put in command over Aussi troops. In places such as Gallipoli. As Churchill said, "Lions, led by Donkeys."

The classic story, supposed to be true, is of a group of British Officers waiting on the dock for a troopship of Aussies they were going to take command of. The Aussies, using the large Australian penny, stood by the rails of the troopship and hurled them at them, driving them from the dock.
