The Field Marshal was a born commander and, besides being a gifted
linguist, was mobilised as a Subaltern for the Boer War to act as a
secret agent and to streamline the peace process. With an appetite
for battle, in WW1 he became the Allied C-in-C of the Expeditionary
Force in North Russia and, being ranked as a knighted Major General
at the age of 39, he then modernised the Staff training to deal
with armoured and aerial warfare. His Generalship was tested out in
the Raj and, in 1939, on the day war was declared, the British Army
leadership as CIGS was placed in his hands, so that he was able to
defend Calais and free-up the BEF escape route to Dunkirk. Back in
business as C-in-C Home Forces he was given his baton. Ironside
surely had one of the most varied and long military careers of any
military leader in the 20th century.
