Garnet Hughes
Major General Garnet Burk Hughes CB, CMG, DSO, (April 22, 1880 - April 13, 1937) was a Canadian military officer during the First World War. Although he had shown promise as a cadet officer and was politically well-connected, he was judged not to be an able combat officer and, in the latter half of the war, was shunted away from the front lines to administrative roles.

It was as deep as England: it held
Pike too immense to stir, so immense and old
That past nightfall I dared not cast”
