Major-General Thomas Stanton Lambert (1871-1921): A Profile of Leadership and Courage during the First World War This evocative silhouette captures the strong and resolute figure of Major-General Thomas Stanton Lambert, who led the 32nd Division of the British Army during the First World War. The image, taken by Captain H.L. Oakley, who served as Lambert's ADC (Aide-de-Camp), offers a glimpse into the character and determination of a man who played a pivotal role in the history of the 1st Great War. Born in 1871, Lambert began his military career in the Royal Artillery before transferring to the infantry in 1893. He saw action in the Second Boer War and was later appointed to command the 1st Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment. During the First World War, he was given command of the 32nd Division, which saw heavy fighting on the Western Front. Lambert's leadership was marked by his courage and his ability to inspire his men. He was known for his calm demeanor under pressure and his unwavering commitment to his troops. In 1918, he led the 32nd Division in a successful attack on the German lines at the Battle of the Lys, earning him the nickname "Lambert the Lion." This powerful silhouette, with its stark contrasts and bold lines, serves as a fitting tribute to a man who embodied the spirit of the British military during the First World War. It is a reminder of the sacrifices and heroism of a generation of soldiers who fought for their country and for the future of the world.
