Bunkey boo: A nickname for General Sir J.M.S. Bunker, Inspector of R.H.A. and R.F.A. A sentence in the Royal Artillery War Commemoration Book (p.286) runs thus: "The Battery Commander had two jobs to do. He was early told that to say 'Bunkey Boo' to a young subaltern was enough to keep him awake all night, and he found it perfectly true, and that this dark saying had a most important moral ttached."[1]
