Arthur Currie
General Sir Arthur William Currie is a senior Canadian military officer who fought in the First World War. The only difference he had was that he began his military career on the last ladder as a pre-war militia machine gunner before becoming the first Canadian to command the Canadian Corps. Currie's success hinges on his ability to quickly adapt brigade tactics to the harsh conditions of trench warfare, using fixed operations and bite and hold tactics. He is often considered one of the most capable commanders on the Western Front and one of the best in Canadian military history. Currie began his military career in 1897 as a part-time soldier in the Canadian militia while earning a living as a teacher and later as an insurance and speculative salesman. Currie quickly rose through the ranks: officer appointed in 1900, promoted captain in 1901, then major in 1906, and commander of the artillery regiment in 1909
