Brigadier General Sir James Edward Edmonds CB, CMG (25 December 1861 – 2 August 1956) was a British First World War officer of the Royal Engineers who in the role of British official historian was responsible for the post-war compilation of the 28-volume ''History of the Great War''. Edmonds himself wrote nearly half the volumes, including eleven of the 14 volumes dealing with the Western Front (''Military Operations, France and Belgium''). His task was not completed until the final volume was published in 1949.
