Puttick, Edward (1890-1976)

Edward Puttick was a highly decorated veteran of the First World War who had survived being shot through the lung during the 1918 German Spring Offensive. He led 4 Brigade through the Greece and Crete debacles early in the European war, receiving some criticism for failing to counterattack at Maleme airfield.

Puttick served as chief of staff of the New Zealand Army throughout the Pacific War, becoming the first New Zealand soldier to reach the rank of lieutenant general.

Puttick was known as "The Red Hun" both for his red hair and his compulsive work habits. He was a skilled administrator who got along with most New Zealand politicians.
