Sir Evelyn Hugh Barker was a British Army general in World War II, and commander of British forces in the Mandate Palestine from 1946 to 1947. He gained recognition in the latter post, becoming a controversial figure seen by some as a spiteful anti-semite, and by others as a tough general held back from victory by politicians. Wikipedia
