Could you please get your story straight:

Was Kiggell by 1918 serving as a GSO1 on a Divisional Staff or was he serving a Chief of the General Staff (Military Head of the Army) - No man called Kiggell has ever held the post so I can only assume in your ignorance you have got your wires crossed.

You clearly have no idea how an army functions, you have no idea of how the the various "Staffs" function (i.e. Headquarters, Army, Divisional, Corps, Brigade) GSO1 stands for General Staff Officer Grade 1 warrants a rank of Lt-Colonel or Colonel if he is tasked with responsibilities relating to transport of replacements, and logistics from port to Divisional supply bases then the conditions men are living under and fighting under at the front have no bearing whatsoever on his job.

Such a busy thread this never ever seen such a clamour for people to so willingly demonstrate their ignorance about a subject before.
