Abstract
Brigadier D. P. J. Kelly has recently retired from the post of controller of the Royal Army Educational Corps. Born in London in 1887 and educated at the University of Cambridge, he was commissioned into the Connaught Rangers in 1915 and was gazetted as a captain in the Army Educational Corps in 1920. Following eleven years of service in India, he returned home in 1940 and was appointed command education officer in Scottish Command. In this post he was responsible for the introduction of the war-time scheme of education, and the friendly relations which continue to exist between the Army and the Scottish universities, the Scottish Education Department and the voluntary bodies engaged in educational work in Scotland, owe much to his ability and personality. Selected as controller in 1944, at a time when the educational scheme for the release period was being planned, he worked in the closest co-operation with Sir Philip Morris. More recently, he has been actively engaged under Major-General Cyril Lloyd in planning the future organisation of the Royal Army Educational Corps.
