Allenby1965

"Field Marshal Edmund Henry Hynman Allenby, 1st Viscount Allenby GCB, GCMG, GCVO (23 April 1861 ? 14 May 1936) was a British soldier and administrator. He served in the Second Boer War and then on the Western Front during the First World War. He went on to lead the Egyptian Expeditionary Force during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign in the conquest of Palestine and Syria in 1917 and 1918 winning a victory at the Battle of Megiddo. T. E. Lawrence ("Lawrence of Arabia"), whose efforts with the Arab Revolt were greatly aided by Allenby, thought highly of him: "(He was) physically large and confident, and morally so great that the comprehension of our littleness came slow to him"."--Wikipedia.
