Graham Seton Hutchison
Lieutenant-Colonel Graham Seton Hutchison (1890–1946〔Harold Bloom, ''J. R. R. Tolkien's The lord of the rings'', Infobase Publishing, 2008, p. 38〕) was a Scottish First World War army officer, military theorist, author of both adventure novels and non-fiction works and fascist activist. Seton Hutchinson became a celebrated figure in military circles for his tactical innovations during the First World War but would later become associated with a series of fringe fascist movements which failed to capture much support even by the standards of the far right in Britain in the interbellum period.
==Military career==
Born in Scotland,〔Richard Griffiths, ''Fellow Travellers on the Right'', Oxford University Press, 1983, p. 101〕 his father came from Inverness, although the family settled in London.〔Gavin Bowd, ''Fascist Scotland - Caledonia and the Far Right'', Birlinn, 2013, p. 49〕 He was educated at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst.〔 Seton Hutchison first saw military service when he enlisted in the King's Own Scottish Borderers in 1909, remaining with the regiment until 1913.〔J.M. Bourne, ''Who's who in World War One'', Routledge, 2001, p. 138〕 He spent time in colonial Africa, serving with the British South Africa Police and the Rhodesian Army before the outbreak of the First World War.〔
He returned to the British Army in 1914 initially with the 2nd Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and the Machine Gun Corps.〔 In 1917 Seton Hutchison, at the time a Major and Machine Gun Officer in the 33rd Division, convinced his commanding officer to group all the machine gunners, who were spread between four brigades, into a single company under his command, a scheme that was soon rolled out across the British Army resulting in the Machine Gun Corps becoming an independent branch of the army.〔Arnold D. Harvey, ''Collision of empires: Britain in three world wars, 1793–1945'', Continuum International Publishing Group, 1992, pp. 374–375〕 He also became noted for his strong opposition to retreat and recounted a story of how in March 1918 he shot all but two of a group of forty British soldiers fleeing from the German Imperial Army.〔Paul Fussell, ''The Great War and Modern Memory: The Illustrated Edition'', Sterling Publishing Company, Inc., 2009, p. 223〕
Seton Hutchison's exploits made him a well-known figure and he was awarded both the Distinguished Service Order and the Military Cross.〔 A somewhat more unusual tribute followed in 1921 when the composer Kenneth J. Alford penned a marching tune, ''The Mad Major'', in his honour.〔Jeffrey Richards, ''Imperialism and music: Britain, 1876–1953'', Manchester University Press, 2001, p. 431〕
