  Frank Crowther Roberts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Major-General Frank Crowther Roberts (VC, DSO, OBE, MC) (2 June 1891 - 12 January 1982) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
During the period 22 March/2 April 1918 west of Somme and at Pargny, France, Lieutenant Colonel Roberts showed exceptional military skill in dealing with the many very difficult situations of the retirement and amazing endurance and energy in inspiring all ranks under his command.
On one occasion the enemy attacked a village and had practically cleared it of our troops when Colonel Roberts got together an improvised party and led a counter-attack which temporarily drove the enemy out of the village, thus covering the retirement of troops on their flanks.

 ARPANET IMP, Interface Message Processor
Roberts' plan called for each site to write the software to connect their computer to the network, which looked like a lot of work to the attendees since there were so many different kinds of computers and operating systems in use throughout the DARPA community.
After the meeting Roberts stayed behind and Clark elaborated on his concept -- deploy a minicomputer called an "interface message processor" at each site to handle the interface to the ARPANET network, so each site would only have to write one interface to the one standard IMP.
Lawrence Roberts and Barry Wessler used this report to write a final version of the IMP specification, describing communications standards for different computers, and presented it at the DARPA Principal Investigators meeting in June, 1968.
