		Byng, Julian Hedworth George, Viscount Byng of Vimy 1862-1935, field-marshal, was born at Wrotham Park, Barnet, 11 September 1862, the youngest of the four sons of George Stevens Byng, second Earl of Strafford, by his second wife, Harriet Elizabeth, younger daughter of Charles Compton Cavendish, first Lord Chesham.
		Julian Byng was educated at Eton, entered the army through the militia (7th battalion, the King's Royal Rifle Corps), and was gazetted to the 10th Hussars in January 1883.
		It is probable that Byng's judgement was more questionable in the second case than in the first, but his conduct of the final offensive showed him to be as capable in command of a big army as he had been in command of a column, a division, and an army corps.

		I think at this point, it is important to point out that the situation looked extremely bleak except for the, soon to be realized, factor of brilliant leadership and unbelievable bravery of the troops.
		Julian Byng had just been placed in command of the Canadians forces and he along with Arthur Currie took on the task of preparing the men and forming the plan to save the position and in some respects, save the honour of the Canadian forces.
		In a method that would foreshadow successes at Vimy Ridge almost a year later, Byng and Currie worked to train the men to be familiar with the geography of the area.

		In time however Haig, disappointed at the lack of progress at Passchendaele, turned back to Fuller and Byng's scheme, attracted by the notion of achieving a useful victory using the new weapon before the year was out.
		Byng, buoyed with the opportunity the command gave him, rejected Colonel Fuller's initial plan calling for an immediate withdrawal once the massed tank formation had successfully raided the German lines.
		Unfortunately for Byng a lack of available support to follow-up the surprise breakthrough of the first day resulted in a critical loss of momentum.

		The attack began on 20 November; there was no preliminary bombardment to cut up the ground over which the Tanks, infantry, and cavalry were to advance, and a single gun gave the signal for the start amid a favouring fog and behind a supplementary barrage of smoke which hid the advance from the German guns.
		But for the former, Byng might have mastered the vital Bourlon position, and but for the latter have crossed the canal in force, broken the last of the German lines, and taken Rumilly, Crèvecoeur, and possibly Cambrai.
		The light of Byng's success soon died away and left the gloom to be illumined by a far-off flicker in the East.
