Who is that? #3 - Solved!

So, we have a winner.  Alexander got the man referred to by his
troops affectionately (?) as Old Nosey.   We already have next week's ready to go.  He will be instantly recognizable to many of you so the winner will doubtless be the person who checks in first.  Between now and then some Belgian posts..

Ok, so the first one was too hard.  And the second one was too easy.  We are hoping this one is - just right. Good luck. Clues tomorrow if you need them.


Clue: No guesses?  C'mon people.  Take a shot.  This guy was as big as his nose. Look at his nose.  It's huge.  No, not Magritte.  He's not Belgian... 

So let's recap what you know: 1st, they don't put up statues to just anyone.  2nd and perhaps most important.  I have heard of this guy.  He's not Belgian, but there is a stautue of him in Belgium.  He is huge.  Involved in what may have been the biggest thing ever to happen in Belgium - and no, he did not invent the "Frite".
