Winnie the Pooh was inspired by a Canadian black bear that was the mascot of a WWI military unit. Winnipeg the bear, or "Winnie", sat out the war at the London Zoo. Winnie was so tame that children could feed her honey but only under the supervision of the zookeepers. Christopher Milne was one of those kids.
A listing of poets of the Great War. I forgot that Saki was in that number.
