List of generals of the British Empire who died during the First World War facts for kids

This list is about British officers who were high-ranking generals and died during World War I, also known as the First World War. These generals held ranks like field marshal, general, lieutenant-general, major-general, or brigadier-general. They usually led large groups of soldiers, like brigades or even entire armies.

After the war, many people thought that British generals stayed safe in fancy castles (châteaux) far from the fighting. But some historians say this isn't true. In fact, many generals were killed or wounded. This list includes 123 officers who died between the start of the war on 4 August 1914 and the end of the fighting on 11 November 1918. It also includes 34 more who died between the armistice and 31 August 1921, which was officially the end of the war for Britain.

Understanding General Ranks in WWI

During World War I, the British Empire's army had several levels of general officers. The highest was field marshal, which was often an honorary title. The most senior active generals were simply called "general."

Here's what each general rank usually commanded:

• Generals often led entire field armies.
• Lieutenant-generals commanded corps, which are large military units.
• Major-generals were in charge of divisions.
• Brigadier-generals led brigades.

At the beginning of the war, the British Army had a smaller number of generals. By the end of the war in 1918, the army had grown a lot. This meant there were many more generals to lead the expanded forces.

Were Generals Safe in Châteaux?

A common idea about British generals in World War I is that they stayed far from the front lines in comfortable châteaux. From there, they supposedly gave orders without understanding the harsh reality of the trenches. However, many military historians disagree with this idea.

The job of a general was not to be right next to the fighting soldiers. Instead, they managed a headquarters where they received information and directed the battle. In the early part of the war, many British generals were killed or injured. For example, in just nine days in late 1914, eight generals were killed, wounded, or captured. This was a big loss of experienced leaders.

Because of these losses, in October 1915, a top general named William Robertson ordered commanders not to put themselves in too much danger during battles.

Some famous people helped spread the "château generals" idea. These included wartime Prime Minister David Lloyd George in his 1933 book, War Memoirs. The idea was also supported by Alan Clark's 1961 book The Donkeys and the 1964 BBC TV show The Great War.

However, since the 1980s, many military historians have argued that British Army leaders were actually very clever and tried new ways to break the deadlock of trench warfare. They say these generals were not hiding in the rear.

What Caused Generals' Deaths?

Funeral of Brigadier-General Francis Earl Johnston on 18 August 1917.

Historians Frank Davis and Graham Maddocks studied how British generals died in their 1995 book, Bloody Red Tabs. They found 78 generals who were killed in action, died from wounds, or died because of their active service.

They couldn't find the exact cause of death for every general. But they estimated that:

• 34 generals died from artillery shells.
• 22 died from small arms fire (like rifles or machine guns).
• Three drowned.
• Four died in accidents.
• One died from cholera.

It's important to note that none of these generals were killed in their châteaux, though two were wounded there. The number of generals killed by shell fire was lower than for regular soldiers. However, a higher number of generals were killed by small arms fire. This suggests that generals were often close enough to the front lines to be hit by bullets. In addition to those who died, 146 other generals were either wounded or captured during the war.

How British Generals' Deaths Compare

A study from 2023 found that about 74% of British officers and 85% of other soldiers who joined the army in 1914 survived the war.

Other countries also lost many generals:

• French Marshal Ferdinand Foch listed 41 French generals killed in action. A wider list shows 81 French generals died for France.
• Historian Laurent Guillemot found that 76 British, 42 French, 2 Belgian, 2 Italian, and 2 Romanian generals died on the Allied side.
• On the German side, about 70 generals died. Around 40 Austro-Hungarian and 1 Ottoman general also died.

How Generals Are Included in This List

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) lists everyone who "died while serving in the Commonwealth forces during the war." This includes people who were not actively fighting at the moment of their death. So, their records include more general officers than just those listed by Davis and Maddocks.
