From Wikipedia

Brigadier-General Francis Earl Johnston, CB (1 October 1871 – 7 August 1917) was a New Zealand born British Army officer of the First World War, who was seconded to the New Zealand Military Forces, serving at Gallipoli and on the Western Front. He commanded both the 1st Infantry Brigade and 3rd New Zealand (Rifle) Brigade, and was one of three New Zealand brigadier-generals killed during the war.

The miniature of this man the last figure I painted for the diorama. Part of the enjoyment of this project has been learning about some of the real people who fought at Chunuk Bair – from the lofty heights of the brass down to the common soldiers of both sides.
