Plumer, The Soldiers' General - Geoffrey Powell - Very Good H17 Sir Max HastingsFirst World War Generals tend to have dubious reputations and in group photographs of the High Command on the Western Front, one figure stands out as an archetypal Colonel Blimp smart to a fault, white hair, white moustache, pot belly. This was Sir Herbert Plumer. But his appearance belies the fact that he was one of the best performing and best regarded officers on the Allied side. He was famously thoughtful of his men and sparing of their lives.
