Edward Fanshawe (British Army officer)
Lieutenant-General Sir Edward Arthur Fanshawe KCB (4 April 1859 – 13 November 1952) was a British Army general of the First World War, who commanded the 11th (Northern) Division at Gallipoli and the V Corps on the Western Front during the Battle of the Somme, the Third Battle of Ypres, and the 1918 Spring Offensive. He was the second eldest of four brothers Henry Leighton Fanshawe, the eldest, (Edward), Hew, and Robert) and he, together with the last two, all rose to command divisions or corps during the war.
==Early career==
Fanshawe was born in 1859, the son of the Reverend Henry Leighton Fanshawe, of Chilworth, Oxfordshire.〔''Who Was Who'' gives Edward as the second son; the ''Times'' gives him as eldest. This may be an error on one part, or it may indicate an earlier child died in infancy.〕 He attended Winchester College and the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, then joined the Royal Artillery in 1878.〔''Times'' obituary〕 He was the eldest of three brothers with significant military careers; Hew (b. 1860) joined the cavalry and Robert (b. 1863) joined the infantry, all three rising to command corps or divisions during the First World War.〔"FANSHAWE, Maj.-Gen. Sir Robert", in 〕〔"FANSHAWE, Lt-Gen. Sir Hew Dalrymple", in 〕
He married Rose Higginson, daughter of Sir James Higginson, in 1893; they had three sons.〔
He served in the Second Anglo-Afghan War in 1878-80 and the Sudan expedition of 1885, rising steadily through the ranks thereafter; captain in 1886, major in 1896, lieutenant-colonel in 1903, and colonel in 1908.〔''Who Was Who''〕 In 1909 he was appointed to command the artillery in one of the regular divisions garrisoned in Ireland;〔 whilst serving there, he was personally commended by the King for saving an artilleryman from being crushed by a cavalry parade in Dublin.〔(Article ) in the Adelaide ''Advertiser'', 19 July 1911〕 In 1913, he was transferred to command the divisional artillery in the Wessex Division of the Territorial Force.〔
