abstract
  • General Sir Charles Harington Harington, GCB, GBE, DSO, DCL (31 May 1872 – 22 October 1940), was a British Army officer most noted for his service during the First World War and Chanak crisis. During his 46 years in the army, Harington served in the Second Boer War, held various staff positions during the First World War, served as Deputy Chief of the Imperial General Staff between 1918 and 1920, commanded the occupation forces in the Black Sea and Turkey, and ultimately became Governor of Gibraltar in 1933. Respected by his peers and remembered as an "outstanding soldier", Harington served the entirety of the First World War in a staff capacity, most notably as Chief of Staff to General Herbert Plumer, commander of the Second Army, with whom he had a strong mutual understanding. As Commander-in-Chief of the Allied occupation army, based in Constantinople, Harington was instrumental in averting a war between the United Kingdom and pre-republic Turkey. Harington retired in 1938, having been Governor of Gibraltar since May 1933. His continued association with the British Army in retirement was facilitated by symbolic positions, such as honorary colonel of the regular King's Regiment, its territorial 7th Battalion, and the 4/15th Punjab Regiment.
