## Bio

Claude Auchinleck spent most of his military career in India, rising through the British Indian Army to become its commander-in-chief by early 1941. That July he was appointed commander-in-chief of the Middle East Theatre, where initial successes gave way to reversals in North Africa; he was relieved in August 1942. By June 1943 he was back as Commander-in-Chief, India, where his work organizing supply, maintenance and training proved crucial to General William Slim's Fourteenth Army. He held the India post through Partition in 1947, then served as supreme commander of all British forces in India and Pakistan until late 1948. He lived to 96.
