If you get a chance you will find this a most informative and entertaining account of a "Most Remarkable Man"
Although now out of print, there are some copies on secondhand book sites. There was also a BBC play, starring Jim Broadbent ( a very accomplished character actor) with the same title, I think there are snippets on Youtube.
Wintle was a Cavalry Officer in every real sense of the word.
