This account of Rawlinson and especially of the Somme is somewhat dated. It omits his important work as Commandant of the Staff College and Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army at a difficult time for that institution. The account of the Somme relies on Middlebrook published many years ago, focuses on the first day and omits his successes on 14 July and in late September. The article does justice to his role at Amiens, but nothing about piercing the Hindenburg Line, which Prior and Wilson identify as the British Army's greatest success in the First World War. I hope it will be agreeable for me in due course to edit this article accordingly, providing footnote support. I have been reading Rawlinson's papers and books about him for the past four years.
