This photograph was taken by Frederic Robinson of Camberley. It is inferred that it dates from the inter-war years, both from the apparent age of the sitter, and from the fact that it was taken by a photographer in Camberley, where McCreery was at the Staff College from 1928-9.

The photograph most likely dates from mid-1938 to 1940, as McCreery was promoted Brevet Colonel on 29 July 1938, with seniority backdated to 29 July 1937,when he was appointed General Staff Officer 1 (GSO 1) in the First Armoured Division. In 1928-29 he was a Major.

The photographer, Frederic Robinson, is represented in the National Portrait Gallery’s photography collection (see http://www.npg.org.uk/live/photosr.asp)

The photograph was given by General McCreery’s widow, Lady McCreery, to her son Charles, who gives his permission for its use here.
