Military career
Born in London, England, on 30 April 1890, the son of Brigadier-General Acton Lemuel Schreiber, Edmond Charles Acton Schreiber was educated at Wellington College, Berkshire and the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, from where he was commissioned as a second lieutenant into the British Army's Royal Field Artillery on 23 December 1909.[1] He was promoted to lieutenant on 23 December 1912.[2] He served in the First World War with the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) on the Western Front, earning the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) in December 1914, the citation for which reads:
He was also four times mentioned in dispatches and ended the war as a brevet major, having been promoted to that rank on 1 January 1918.[3]Шаблон:Sfn
In the 1930s, during the interwar period, he attended the Staff College, Camberley, from 1923−1924, before returning there as an instructor from 1930−1933, later becoming a staff officer at the War Office from 1934−1937, Chief Staff Officer at the Senior Officers' School, Sheerness, in 1938, and was Brigadier Royal Artillery in Southern Command, from 1938−1939, the same year the Second World War began.Шаблон:Sfn
During the Second World War Schreiber served with the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) in France between 1939 and 1940.[4] Promoted to acting Major-General on 26 April 1940,[5] he became General Officer Commanding (GOC) 61st Infantry Division on the same date, before being made GOC 45th Infantry Division later in 1940. In May 1941 he was promoted to acting Lieutenant-General[6] to take command of V Corps later that year. In May 1942 he received the rank of temporary lieutenant-general,[7] and in July that year he was appointed to command the British First Army (in reality an Anglo-American formation) which was later to be the parent organisation for Allied forces in French North Africa after Operation Torch in November. Schreiber had to resign after only two months, however, as he developed a kidney problem and became unfit for active service.[8]
Restricted to non-field roles, he became General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-in-C) Western Command in 1942 and of South Eastern Command in 1944.[9]Шаблон:Failed verification Between 1944 and 1946, Schreiber was Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Malta.[10] He retired from the British Army after the war in 1947.[9]Шаблон:Failed verificationШаблон:Sfn
