He was called the cleverest man in the British army and was hailed as the man who "pulled the army out of a hole in South African".

Author Chris Brice joins me today to a shine a light on this fascinating man and his excellent career in the British army.

Chris has also written a book on Brackenbury that can be purchased here - bit.ly/Brackenburybook
