The Brigadier General commanding British 166 Brigade from 4 December 1917 was Reginald John Kentish D.S.O.

 

Edit to add:- He was born on 29 December 1876 in Bexley, Kent, died 27 August 1956 at the Staff Mess, Iraq Petroleum Co., Homs, Syria.

Many thanks Harry Brook ! I saw there are 2 boxes with papers of Kentish in IWM, and a book

This foul thing called war the life of Brigadier-General R.J. Kentish, CMG, DSO (1876-1956)

 

Have you this in your library ?

 

Sincerely yours
