Major General Julian Robert Lindsey (16 March 1871 – 27 June 1948) was a United States Army cavalry officer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

[2] His classmates included numerous men who would later attain general officer rank, such as Charles Pelot Summerall, Tracy Campbell Dickson, Frank W. Coe, William Ruthven Smith, James Ancil Shipton, Louis Chapin Covell, Preston Brown, George Blakely, Robert Mearns, Peter Weimer Davison, Howard Russell Hickok, Henry Howard Whitney, John E. Woodward, John McAuley Palmer and George Columbus Barnhardt.

[3] During the Boxer Rebellion Lindsey joined the 15th Infantry as an Aide-de-Camp to Adna Chaffee in the China Relief Expedition in 1900.

As part of the American Expeditionary Forces he took command of the 164th Infantry Brigade, 82nd Division and was promoted to brigadier general of the National Army in April 1918.

[4] Soon Lindsey asked for the replacement of two of his regiment commanders, Colonels Frank D. Ely and Hunter B. Nelson, and the chief medical officer of his brigade, for not meeting the standards.

[5] During the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in early October 1918, Lindsey's brigade fought in the battles around the Aire river, Cornay and Buzancy.

After Ely had reported his formation exhausted on 11 October after continuous fighting and gas attacks and had ordered a retreat of the 327th, Lindsey relieved him of his command on the battlefield, to be replaced by Lieutenant Colonel Frank H. Burr.
