Harold Bridgwood Walker
Lieutenant General Sir Harold Bridgwood Walker KCB, KCMG, DSO (26 April 1862 – 5 November 1934) was an English general who led Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. He was highly regarded by the men he commanded and was only replaced in 1918 when politics dictated that all Australian Imperial Force divisions should be commanded by Australians.
== Early life ==
Walker was born in Dilhorne, North Staffordshire, England in 1862, a descendant of George Walker, and was educated at Shrewsbury and Jesus College, Cambridge. He was commissioned into the British Army in the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry in May 1884〔(Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives )〕 and served on the Nile Expedition in 1884 and 1885.〔 He served on the North West Frontier of India in 1897 and saw action in the Second Boer War.〔
Before the outbreak of the First World War he was serving as a staff officer with the British Indian Army. When the headquarters of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) began forming under Indian Army general William Birdwood, Walker was appointed as corps chief of staff with the rank of brigadier general.〔(Walker, Sir Harold Bridgwood (1862 - 1934) Biographical Entry ) Australian Dictionary of Biography Online〕
