Colin Muir Barber

Lieutenant-General Sir Colin Muir Barber, was a senior British Army officer who fought in both the First and Second World War. During the latter, he commanded the 15th (Scottish) Infantry Division across parts of the Western Front from August 1944 until the end of the war in May 1945. Standing at 6 ft 9 in (2.06 m), Barber was reputed to be the tallest officer in the British Army, and thus earned the ironic nickname "Tiny".
