Lieutenant-General Sir Iven Mackay (1882-1966) was one of Australia's most distinguished military figures.

He was a great Australian who never wavered from the high ideals he embraced as a young man, and whose sterling character and example throughout his long life inspired thousands of his fellow countrymen, in school and university, in the militia, and in two world wars.

Iven Giffard Mackay served with the 4th Battalion, 1st AIF, at Gallipoli and on the Western Front during the First World War. In the Second World War, he commanded the 6th Australian Division in North Africa and Greece in 1941. In 1943, he served as commander of Australian troops in New Guinea. This Biography of Australian Lieutenant-General Sir Iven Mackay covers his service during both World Wars.
