General Sir Herbert Lawrence - the unsung architect of victory? | Paul Harris

This talk by Paul Harris was delivered 'live' to an online audience. In this, Paul will discuss one of the 'forgotten' Generals of the First World War. As Chief of Staff to Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig in 1918, General Sir Herbert Lawrence played a key role in the defeat of Germany in the First World War. Described as 'a man of outstanding ability both as a soldier and in business', it is surprising that this towering individual has received such little attention. He remains one of the forgotten figures of the war. This presentation will trace his remarkable career and argue that Lawrence has a strong claim to be recognised as one of the principal architects of Allied victory. It will be based upon Paul's recently published book 'General Sir Herbert Lawrence, Haig's Chief of Staff'. We hope to host more 'live' webinars.
