Allied Commanders

Harold Alexander

Commander of Preparation Fire

Description

BIOGRAPHY

“He was the life and soul of the attack, and throughout the day led forward not only his own men but men of all regiments,” said Harold Alexander’s appointment for the Distinguished Service Order.

Descended from a family of servicemen, Alexander was the third son of the 4th Earl of Caledon. He built his reputation in World War I, earning the love and respect of his troops. During the war, he was promoted from platoon commander to brigade commander.

He graduated from the staff academy in Camberley and the Imperial Defence College.

During World War II, he commanded the rescue operation of Allied forces in Dunkirk and would not leave the town until he was sure that all of his units had embarked. Later, he commanded British forces in the Middle East, where he won a sweeping victory over Italian and German forces in the Battle of El Alamein. He won a victory in the Tunisia campaign, fought in the Sicily and Italian Campaigns, and played a key role in capturing Rome.

EFFECTIVENESS ON THE BATTLEFIELD

An advocate of distance combat, Alexander prefers formations of machine gunners and tank destroyers, clearing the way for them with accurate artillery fire from howitzers and mortars.
