Colonel in 1918?
The article states that Christie was Lieutenant in 1913 and Colonel in 1918. Was it really possible in WW1 to get promoted so quickly at age 29? I seriously doubt it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.193.95.127 (talk) 16:22, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
- Trench warfare, gas attacks, and the advent of the machinegun decimated the British ranks. Possibly he was brevetted, received "battlefield" promotions, as officers were lost. rags (talk) 03:48, 28 May 2018 (UTC) rags (talk) 03:48, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
