Wow, being Australian I find this all terribly confronting. |

I give Sir Arthur Currie my vote – and he is Canadian so I guess he technically counts as British – but Sir John Monash (of course, Australian) is certainly a close second Like Allenby – I'll give him a third |

Didn't Haig say it would be a long slog, and a war of attrition? Which was spot on. |

For an actual British (not 'Dominion') General, Plumer is probably up there, and Smith-Dorrien put up a decent show. |

Lions led by donkeys. But I had to vote and went with Allenby. |

'Didn't Haig say it would be a long slog, and a war of attrition? Which was spot on.' Yes, but then it could be argued he made it a self-fulfilling prophesy! For 'British' I'd go Smith-Dorrien, Plumer then Allenby, but if expanded to 'British Empire', Monash, Currie and then Chauvel giving Smith-Dorrien a close run for third. |
