One of Bateman's favorite characters, whom he portrayed over and over again, was "The Colonel." After the Great War, England was populated by many men who had served their country admirably, and the retired officers were often prominent members of society, respected for their military accomplishments. But they were also considered by many, including Bateman, to have risen somewhat higher on the social scale than perhaps was warranted. In his social satire, Bateman frequently depicted the colonel as a bit of a buffoon, engaging in activities beyond his ken simply because of his new social station. One such activity was fly fishing, and Bateman seemed to enjoy depicting his protagonist in some particularly awkward moment on the stream. "Mr. Bateman's Colonel is, indeed, the only possible, the only perfect Colonel. We cling to him as to a last straw . . . We can only hope that the War Office is taking steps to preserve the type, and with Mr. Bateman's assistance there should be no danger of its becoming extinct. " (Captain H. Graham).
