Andrew Hamilton Russell
Major General Sir Andrew Hamilton Russell (23 February 1868 – 29 November 1960) was a general from New Zealand during the First World War, who rose swiftly to high command during the Gallipoli campaign in 1915–1916 and to prominence as the commander of the New Zealand Division on the Western Front in 1917 and 1918.
==Early life==
Andrew Hamilton Russell, known as Guy to his family, was born on 23 February 1868 at Napier, New Zealand, the oldest son of a farmer and his wife. The Russell family had a long military history dating back to the Napoleonic Wars; Guy's great-grandfather served in the Black Watch Regiment and his grandfather, also named Andrew Hamilton Russell, fought in the New Zealand Wars of the 1840s with the 58th Regiment. After retiring from the British Army, Guy's grandfather took up farming in the Hawke's Bay region of the North Island of New Zealand. His sons followed in his footsteps, and Guy's father, another Andrew Hamilton Russell, also served in the 58th Regiment and ran an isolated sheep station with his brother in the Hawke's Bay.
After tiring of life in colonial New Zealand, Guy's father moved his family to England in 1874 and settled in Sedgley. After three years the family returned to New Zealand and lived in Flaxmere. The family were less isolated than at their previous home in the country and they had an active social life. However, finances became tight and Guy's father once more moved the family to England and then onto Switzerland, where they lived off income from their land in New Zealand. Guy remained in England to be schooled at Twyford School, near Winchester. In 1882, after graduating top of his year in Twyford, and encouraged by both his father and grandfather to pursue a career in science or law, he attended Harrow School. He did not perform well in his academic studies, preferring instead sporting endeavours and the school's Cadet Corps.
