	Brian Horrocks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Horrocks was the son of Sir William Horrocks, a doctor in the Royal Army Medical Corps.
		Horrocks spent the remainder of the inter-war years in a variety of postings, including as an instructor at the Staff College, Camberley, and as adjutant for the 9th Battalion, Middlesex Regiment of the Territorial Army.
		Horrocks was not personally blamed for the failure of his Corps; in fact, during this period the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division of James M. Gavin came under Horrocks' command and Gavin described Horrocks after VE Day as "the finest general officer I met during the war, and the finest corps commander".
