Although a highly successful soldier and a gifted artilleryman in the First World War, historians have nonetheless considered McNaughton a failure as commander of the First Canadian Army during the Second World War. McNaughton's unwillingness to see the army divided for use in operations, and his ability to train and command the army, are re-evaluated in light of the effect of his personality conflicts with senior Canadian and British commanders and government officials.
