Wikipedia: Field Marshal Edmund Henry Hynman Allenby, 1st Viscount Allenby GCB, GCMG, GCVO (23 April 1861 – 14 May 1936) was a British soldier and administrator most famous for his role during World War I, in which he led the Egyptian Expeditionary Force in the conquest of Palestine and Syria in 1917 and 1918. Allenby, nicknamed the "Bloody Bull", was characterized by Archibald Wavell, a British field marshal during World War II who had served under Allenby, as an intelligent, caring man and a consummate professional soldier. T. E. Lawrence, whose efforts with the Arab Revolt were greatly aided by Allenby, thought similarly of him: "(He was) physically large and confident, and morally so great that the comprehension of our littleness came slow to him".
