Brian Robertson, 1st Baron Robertson of Oakridge

General Brian Hubert Robertson, 1st Baron Robertson of Oakridge (22 July 1896 – 29 April 1974), known as Sir Brian Robertson, 2nd Baronet from 1933 to 1961, was a senior British Army officer and the Chairman of the British Transport Commission from 1953 to 1961.
==Military career==
Robertson was the eldest son of Field Marshal Sir William Robertson and his wife Mildred Adelaide (née Palin), and was educated at Charterhouse and the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Royal Engineers in November 1914 and was promoted to lieutenant in December 1915. He was promoted to captain in November 1917. He served in France and Italy during World War I, was awarded a Military Cross (MC) in 1918 and was thrice mentioned in despatches.
After the war he served with the Bengal Sappers and Miners from 1920 to 1925 and took part in the Waziristan expedition of 1923 to 1924.〔(Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives )〕 After further training, Robertson joined the War Office in Military Intelligence. He was promoted to major in January 1930. Following his father's death in February 1933, he succeeded him in his baronetcy and retired from the Army in early 1934. He became the Managing Director of Dunlop South Africa Ltd in 1935.〔
With the outbreak of World War II Robertson re-entered military service in 1940 as a temporary lieutenant colonel in the South African Army, and served in East and North Africa, and Italy until the end of the war, notably as Harold Alexander's Chief Administration Officer in Italy. He was promoted to brigadier by 1942 with the temporary rank of major general from 1944 to 1945.〔 Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery thought Robertson was the best chief of administration in the British Army. He was restored to the Active List in 1945 as a substantive major General and quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a lieutenant general in 1946 and a full general in 1947.
From 1945 Robertson was the Deputy Military Governor and from 1947 the Military Governor and British member of the Allied Control Council for Germany.〔 He went on to be Commander-in-Chief of Middle East Land Forces〔(Middle East Strategy )〕 and Governor of the Suez Canal Zone in 1950; he retired in 1953.〔 He was also Colonel Commandant of the Royal Engineers from 1950 to 1953.
