About Richard Hannay
Major-General Sir Richard Hannay is a fictional character created by Scottish novelist John Buchan and further made popular by the 1935 Alfred Hitchcock film The 39 Steps, very loosely based on Buchan's 1915 novel of the same name. In his autobiography, Memory Hold-the-Door, Buchan suggests that the character is based, in part, on Edmund Ironside, a British Army field marshal and CIGS from Edinburgh who was a spy during the Second Boer War.
