J.F.C. Fuller was called by his nick name of ...........

  • A.Boney
  • B.Coney
  • C.Loney
  • D.Toney

Answer: A

J.F.C. Fuller was nicknamed Boney.

Major-General John Frederick Charles Fuller, the British theorist of armoured warfare and chief of staff of the Tank Corps in the First World War, was known as "Boney". The name is usually explained by his admiration for Napoleon Bonaparte, his slight build and his assertive manner, which reminded fellow officers of the emperor.

Coney, Loney and Toney are rhyming distractors and are not recorded as his nicknames.
