General Sir Archibald James Murray, was a British Army officer who served in the Second Boer War and the First World War. He was chief of the general staff to the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) in August 1914 but appears to have suffered a physical breakdown in the retreat from Mons, and was required to step down from that position in January 1915. After serving as deputy chief of the Imperial General Staff for much of 1915, he was briefly chief of the Imperial General Staff from September to December 1915. He was subsequently commander-in-chief of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force from January 1916 to June 1917, in which role he laid the military foundation for the defeat and destruction of the Ottoman Empire in the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant.
