Major-General Oliver Nugent
The Irishman who led the Ulster Division in the Great War
Langbeschreibung
Oliver Nugent, Ireland's longest-serving divisional commander of the Great War, led the Ulster Division on the western front from 1915 to 1918. That period saw the operational transformation of the British army and his own development as a general, from the heroic but doomed assault at Thiepval in July 1916, through the triumph of Messines, the heartbreaking failure at Ypres and the mixed success of Cambrai in 1917, to the great German spring offensive of 1918.
Nicholas Perry read history at Trinity College Dublin. He then spent 37 years as a civil servant in London and Belfast in various departments, including the MOD and the Northern Ireland Office, his final posting being as head of the Department of Justice in Northern Ireland. He retired in 2018, was awarded the CB and is now at the University of Kent, researching the Irish landed class and the British army. He has published several articles on military history and in 2007 edited Oliver Nugent's Great War papers for the Army Records Society.
