Description	Colonel Alderson, commander in South Africa
Details	Lieutenant General Sir Edwin Alfred Hervey Alderson KCB (1859 - 1927), senior British Army officer who served in several campaigns of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. During the First World War he was placed in command of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the first half of the war but made enemies amongst the Canadian political and military elite and suffered disastrous casualties during operations in 1915/16 which forced his sidelining and eventual retirement from service.
