Who WAS Kaiser Bill....and why Batman?

Kaiser Bill was the British nickname for Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, monarch at the time of the First World War. The late 60s saw a youth fashion for things of the early 20th century (hence Sgt Pepper). Batman presumably doesn't refer to the superhero, but to the job title, a batman was a soldier given the job of personal assistant to a superior officer.
