Field Marshal Herbert Charles Onslow Plumer, 1st Viscount Plumer, GCB, GCMG, GCVO, GBE (13 March 1857 – 16 July 1932) was a British colonial official and soldier born in Torquay who commanded the British Second Army in World War I and later served as High Commissioner of the British Mandate for Palestine. The correct appellation of his viscountcy is that he was created Viscount Plumer of Messines. This commemorates, appropriately, his overall command of the extraordinary engineering feat of the explosive mine attacks under German trench positions in June 1917 (the enterprise started in December 1915).
