Major-General Charles Edward Lawrie CB, DSO (1864 – 12 April 1953) was a senior British Army officer.

Military career

Educated at Cheam School, Eton College and the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, Lawrie was commissioned into the Royal Artillery on 15 February 1884.[2]

He saw action with the Jebu Expedition in Nigeria in 1892, and was promoted to captain in March 1893,[3] the Dongola Expedition in 1896 and the Nile Expedition in 1898 before service in the Second Boer War in 1899.[4]

Having been made a captain (again?) in November 1898,[5] he was promoted to lieutenant colonel in April 1910.[6]

He saw service in the First World War, being promoted in April 1915 to colonel but with seniority dating back to December 1915.[7] In June he was promoted to the temporary rank of brigadier general and became the brigadier general, Royal Artillery (BGRA) of the 19th (Western) Division[8] holdinf this post until December. He was then BGRA of II Corps before becoming general officer commanding (GOC) 63rd (Royal Naval) Division in February 1917, when he was promoted to the temporary major general,[9] on the Western Front. He commanded the division at the Battle of Arras in April 1917 when a German advance was repulsed but at considerable cost to the division.[10]

He remained in the army after the war ended but retired in March 1920 and, having reverted to his substantive rank of colonel, was granted the honorary rank of major general.[11]
