Leone Sextus Tollemache, English captain (d. 1917)

Leone Sextus Denys Oswolf Fraudatifilius Tollemache-Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache ( TOOL-mayk-TOL-mak; 10 June 1884 – 20 February 1917) was a captain in the British Army who died during the First World War. He has been stated, incorrectly, to have had the longest English surname on record, or the English surname with the most multiple barrels. His last name is the double-barrelled "Tollemache-Tollemache"; his other names (including the first instance of "Tollemache-Tollemache") are forenames which have been mistaken by some chroniclers as part of his last name.
