Michael Barker (British Army officer)
Lieutenant-General Michael George Henry Barker CB, DSO (1884 – 1960) was a British Army general.
==Military career==
Barker was born 1884 in Wells District, Somerset. He joined the army as a second-lieutenant in the 4th (Militia) Battalion, the East Surrey Regiment on 28 February 1902, before accepting a commission in The Lincolnshire Regiment in 1903.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Unit Histories, British Army officers. )〕 He served throughout the First World War with the Lincolnshire Regiment and was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) in 1917. He commanded the 2nd Battalion, York and Lancaster Regiment from 1927 to 1931 before being promoted to Brigadier as a staff officer at Eastern Command. He became Director of Recruiting and Organization at the War Office in 1936〔 and British Forces in Palestine and Trans-Jordan in 1939.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Army Commands )〕
He served as commander of I Corps in 1940, before being replaced by Lieutenant-General Harold Alexander. His performance there was undistinguished; his subordinate Montgomery remarked that "only a madman would give a corps to Barker." His active military service was finished, and he served for a year as head of Aldershot Command before retiring from the army later that year.〔
Barker died in 1960 in Colchester, Essex.
