Some blokes I served with had nicknames that had got so ingrained if somebody asked for them by their proper name nobody knew who they were wanting, "Anna Conder, real name Bob. Hooks Cunliffe, Owen, Farmer John Hannay, John. ACE = Alistar Claude Edwards, for a few examples. hooks and Ace were sufficiently well know for the cops the use their nicknames.
I have known these guys since 1956 and have to work the brain to remember their proper name even now,
