Brigadier-General Sir Berkeley Vincent, KBE, CB, CMG (4 December 1871 – 29 January 1963) was a British Army officer and sportsman.
[1] Following the end of the war, Vincent left Point Natal for India on the SS Ionian in October 1902 with other officers and men of the J Battery Royal Horse Artillery, and after arrival in Bombay, was stationed in Meerut, Bengal Presidency.
The then commandant of the college, Henry Wilson, was sceptical of Berkeley's claims that Japanese morale had enabled their infantry to overcome Russian defensive firepower.
[10] In 1911, when Vincent learned that he was to leave his job, and was shown General Haig's critical report on him, he availed himself of his right to Appeal to the King, under Section 42 of the Army Act, claiming unfair dismissal.
[1] Promoted in January 1917 to brevet lieutenant colonel,[12] and soon after to temporary brigadier general, he succeeded Arthur Solly-Flood as commander of the 35th Infantry Brigade.
