Service 1914–16
Both the Dictionary of National Biography (cited in this article) and the updated Oxford DNB say that Callwell was appointed director of military operations and intelligence at the War Office on the outbreak of war. This is not quite accurate: though his department was responsible for both operations and intelligence, the Army Lists show that his title was director of military operations from August 1914 to December 1915. Robertson was appointed CIGS on 23 December 1915, and Frederick Barton Maurice was DMO from the same date. Operations and intelligence were separated, and the January 1916 Army List shows Callwell as director of military intelligence. He only served as DMI for a few days, as he was succeeded by George Macdonogh on 3 January 1916. Opera hat (talk) 12:51, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
