520 _aMajor General Sir Andrew Russell commanded the NZ Mounted Rifles Brigade at Gallipoli then went on to serve as commander of the New Zealand Division on the Western Front. As such he was the New Zealand army' s most senior officer during two key periods in the country's military history. The name of his Australian counterpart, General Sir John Monash, is well known to many in his country while Russell remains all but unknown in New Zealand. This biography sets out to change that.
