	Henry George Chauvel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Henry George 'Harry' Chauvel (April 16, 1865 - March 4, 1945) was one of the finest general officers of the First Australian Imperial Force that fought during World War I.
		However, Chauvel became the first Australian to attain the rank of lieutenant general and the first to command a corps (the Desert Mounted Corps) when he was promoted after the reorganisation of the British army in Palestine following the disastrous Second Battle of Gaza.
		He was portrayed in the 1987 film The Lighthorsemen by Bill Kerr, which covered the exploits of an Australian cavalry regiment during the Third Battle of Gaza, and in the 1990 film A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia by Ray Edwards, which took place around the 1919 Paris peace conference.
