Major-General Sir Walter Fullarton Lodovic Lindsay KCB DSO (15 May 1855 – 7 March 1930) was a British Army officer who was a senior figure in the Royal Artillery during the First World War.

[1] He followed his father into the Army, joining the Royal Artillery and seeing overseas service in the Egyptian Campaign of 1882 and the Second Boer War from 1899 to 1900.

After serving on half-pay Lindsay was, in November 1905, promoted to colonel and became a staff officer for Horse and Field Artillery.

On the outbreak of the First World War, he was appointed as the chief artillery officer of the British Expeditionary Force, with the rank of Major-General.

[4] He served on the Western Front for the first months of the war; however, there were few centralised artillery forces commanded by corps or GHQ at this stage, and as a result Lindsay was sidelined and rarely involved in field operations.
