Born on 5 December 1875 at Napperton in Ontario, Currie was an insurance broker and estate agent before war broke out - and liable to be prosecuted for embezzlement until a group of friends mounted his financial rescue in 1914. Prior to the outbreak of war Currie served as a militia officer in British Columbia.

He was a Canadian general during World War I. He had the unique distinction of starting his military career on the very bottom rung as a pre-war militia gunner before rising through the ranks to become the first Canadian commander of the four divisions of the unified Canadian Corps of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. He was the first Canadian to attain the rank of full general. (Wikipedia)
