	William Birdwood, 1st Baron Birdwood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		William Riddell Birdwood, 1st Baron Birdwood, GCB, GCSI, GCMG, GCVO, GBE, CIE, DSO (13 September 1865 - 17 May 1951) was a World War I general who is best known as the commander of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) during the Battle of Gallipoli in 1915.
