Lieutenant General Sir Leslie James Morshead KCB, KBE, CMG, DSO, ED ( 18 September 188926 September 1959 ) was an Australian soldier, teacher, businessman, and farmer, with a distinguished military career that spanned both world wars.

Morshead was born on 18 September 1889 in Ballarat, Victoria, the sixth of seven children of William Morshead, a gold miner who had emigrated from Cornwall, and his wife Mary Eliza Morshead, formerly Rennison, a native of South Australia.

While at Armidale, Morshead joined the Australian Army Cadets, and was commissioned as a lieutenant on 10 February 1913.

He resigned both his teaching position and his commission in the Cadet Corps and travelled up to Sydney to enlist as a private in the 2nd Infantry Battalion of the First Australian Imperial Force ( AIF ) because it was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel George Braund, whom Morshead knew well from his time in Armidale.

Morshead returned to Australia on 22 January 1916 where he was posted to the newly-formed 33rd Infantry Battalion.

Morshead returned to Australia in November 1919 and his AIF appointment was terminated in March 1920.

On 6 October 1939, Morshead was selected by Lieutenant General Sir Thomas Blamey to command the 18th Infantry Brigade in the new 6th Division.

Morshead formally enlisted in the Second AIF on 10 October 1939 and was given the AIF serial number NX8.

Morshead was made a Commander of Order of the British Empire on 1 January 1941.

Morshead was given command of the Tobruk garrison which, as the retreat ( known to the Australians as the " Benghazi handicap ") continued, became surrounded, hundreds of miles behind enemy lines.

In October 1941, Morshead and most of the 9th Division was replaced by the British 6th Division.

For his part, Morshead was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire ( KBE ) on 6 January 1942.

In March that year, Morshead was given command of all Australian forces in the Mediterranean theatre and was promoted to lieutenant general.

Morshead was one of only a few Allied divisional commanders with a distinct record of success at this stage of the war and had been acting commander of the British XXX Corps, a formation largely composed of Commonwealth troops, on two occasions.

But while Chauvel had been an Australian, he had been a regular officer while Morshead was not and the new commander of the British Eighth Army, Lieutenant General Bernard Montgomery felt that a reservist could not possess the " requisite training and experience " to command a corps and Morshead was passed over in favour of Oliver Leese, a British regular officer, who was junior to him and had never commanded a division in action.

" I am quite certain ," Leese informed Morshead, that this breakout was made possible by Homeric fighting over your divisional sector.

For his part in the famous victory, Morshead received yet another Mention in Despatches in June 1942 and in November 1942 he was also created a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath ( KCB ).
