High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Major Jocelyn Lee ‘Hoppy’ Hardy DSO, MC with Bar was a British Army officer famed for his courage on the battlefield and repeated escapes from German prisoner of war camps during the First World War. Between 1920 and 1922 he served as an intelligence officer in Dublin during the counter-insurgency campaign against the IRA and afterwards would retire from the army to become a successful writer.
