	Claude Auchinleck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Claude Auchinleck was a career soldier who spent much of his military career in India, where he developed a love of the country and an affinity for the ordinary soldiers under his command.
		Early in World War II Auchinleck was given command of the Allied forces in Norway in May 1940, a military operation that was doomed to fail.
		Auchinleck's reputation (along with that of many other officers) subsequently suffered unfairly at the hands of the Montgomery publicity machine, a disservice that was repeated by Churchill in his own war memoirs.

		General Auchinleck was C-in-C based in Cairo, with responsibility not just for North Africa but also for Persia and the Middle East; the Eighth Army confronting the German Afrika Corps and the Italian Army was commanded successively by Generals Sir Alan Cunningham and Sir Neil Ritchie.
		Auchinleck withdrew his forces 400km back into Egypt; Tobruk (which was of great political significance to Winston Churchill but of limited military importance to Auchinleck) fell on 21 June.
		Auchinleck was sacked by Churchill in August 1942, almost certainly because he refused to be bullied by Churchill into ordering a major offensive before he and his troops were properly prepared.

		It is a theory based partly on circumstantial evidence (Auchinleck was produced in London c.1331-40 and Chaucer was born in the city at about this time, c.1340), combined with her claim for verbal similarities between The Tale of Sir Thopas and the Auchinleck stanzaic Guy of Warwick.
		Auchinleck preserves, and to some extent allows us access to, the kind of literary culture and literary language with which Chaucer grew up and was influenced by and which can be seen transformed and refracted in his own writings.
		This is not at all to say that Chaucer read Auchinleck itself, but that the contents of the manuscript are representative of the kind of literary environment and linguistic milieu with which writers of the later fourteenth century were familiar.

		Auchinleck has always possessed great musical talent, due to the efforts of Mr James H. Yates, Mr James Armour, Rev G. McCutcheon, Dr C. Rigg and, latterly, Mr Craig MacMillan.

		Born in Aldershot and a graduate of Sandhurst, Field Marshal Auchinleck was a career soldier who spent much of his military career in India.
		Initial success at to El Agheila (January 1942) was followed by defeat by Rommel at Bir Hacheim (June 1942).
		The Auk, as he was known to his troops, was unfortunate in some of his subordinate senior officers in North Africa: some were incompetent, some were killed and some were captured; this resulted in Auchinleck being overwhelmed by the dual role of theatre C-in-C and field commander of the Eighth Army.
