He wrote 'The Fire of Life' 1942
from ref 290 comes (thanks to Diana Mayne 30 April 2018):
I have been reading Roland Perry’s marvellous book, “THE AUSTRALIAN LIGHT HORSE” (Hachette Australia 2010), covering the whole of the Palestine campaign in WW1, and came across numerous mentions of the British “General Barrow” from mid 1917 until the end of the war (and after, when his 4th Cavalry Division was moved to Aleppo to help enforce the Turkish withdrawal from northern Syria after the Armistice). Nowhere in the book was his Christian name given, but looking at your website, it has to be the grandson of Simon of Bath, GENERAL SIR GEORGE de SYMONS BARROW, KCB, KCMG (1864-1959), son of MAJOR GENERAL LYON de SYMONS BARROW (1823-1905) of the Indian Army. A distinguished military family indeed!
George married SYBILLA WAY, a colonel’s daughter, in 1902, and their son MAJOR DAVID de SYMONS BARROW, born 1910, married 1937 (NB actually 1935 according to his son who was born in 1937), was killed in action serving in the Queen’s Regiment in 1944. David’s two children must have been young when they lost their father and would now be in their seventies – LT. COL. PEREGRINE de SYMONS BARROW, and CARLOTTA BARROW...The military careers ended with Peregrine – his son DAVID de SYMONS BARROW (named after the grandfather) seems not to have carried on the family’s military tradition, and has two daughters.
General Barrow served under Allenby and Chauvel, and was first referred to in the book in July 1917 as “the head of the new Yeomanry Mounted, an officer of the old school, formerly of the Indian regular army.” His 4th Division English Cavalry, armed with swords, also included Indian Lancers (Indian mounted troops commanded by British officers), whose weaponry was “the dread of all those who faced it.” (p 428)
General Barrow was in most of the big actions (but not Beersheba) driving the Turks out of Palestine and Syria, and of course he had many dealings with Allenby, Chauvel, Lawrence (whom he found ‘tricky’) and the other commanders of mounted and infantry divisions in the campaign. A few personal comments:
(p 449) “He was a good soldier.”
(p 447) “Barrow was hostile to the Arab need to massacre their opponents. He had been educated (as Chauvel had) to offer surrender where possible, and if accepted, take prisoners and treat them fairly. This was the British and Australian way. Barrow and Chauvel were horrified at the Arabs’ desire to kill to the last man, no matter if they had surrendered or not.”
(Not an armchair general – pp 417-8, 19th September 1918): “It was now dark. Barrow and his Australian chief of staff ... galloped ahead of their long column, moving two abreast, to urge the leading brigade to speed up its movement through the dangerous, tight pass. It moved up from an elevated ridge, which rose from 100 metres above sea level to 400 metres. Troopers were forced sometimes to ride then walk single file. One slip would see a horse tumbling into an abyss ... At dawn the entire 4th Division was almost through and moving onto the Esdraelon Plain at Megiddo, the Armageddon of ancient times ...
“The vanguard ... was just onto the plain when it ran into the lead battalion of the Turkish force sent to intercept it. The enemy began deploying its column and machine guns. The British leader of the Indian 2nd Lancers ... made a decision to charge. Before either side could think, the attack was on. The Indians, wielding their lances, crashed through the unsettled lines, wheeled around and attacked again, using their frightening weapons to devastating effect. In a few minutes they had killed 46 soldiers and taken 476 prisoners. The first engagement of the big attack (on El Afule) had been a resounding victory.”
(p 422 – Chauvel’s letter to his wife, 20th September): “Barrow took Afule with nearly 1,500 prisoners, having got into them with the sword.”
Despite the focus of the book being on the Australian Light Horse, who were truly magnificent, Barrow and his 4th Division played an important part in the campaign which is described in a fair amount of detail, as you can see from the above excerpts.

Birthplace from small Montefiore family tree at National Library of Australia. There is a marble bust of him at Sydney's Art Gallery. he was first president and founder. An article by N Draffin on his Melbourne years may be found on www.barrow-lousada.org
MONTEFIORE, ELIEZER LEVI (1820-1894), businessman, etcher and gallery director, was born in the West Indies, son of Isaac Levi, merchant of Barbados and Brussels, and his wife Hanna, a cousin of the philanthropist, Sir Moses Montefiore. Like his brother Jacob, Eliezer adopted the name of Levi Montefiore. Educated in England, he migrated in 1843 to Adelaide where he became a commission and shipping agent. On 3 May 1848 in Adelaide he married his cousin Esther Hannah Barrow Montefiore.
In 1853 Montefiore went to Melbourne as manager of the Victorian branch of J. B. Montefiore Graham & Co. but resigned and became secretary of the Australasian Insurance Co. Though appointed a justice of the peace he was mainly interested in literature and the arts. In 1861 he was a member of the committee to arrange a celebration for the 300th anniversary of Shakespeare's birth. In 1870 he helped to found the Victorian Academy of Art and on its behalf presented the prizes at the International Colonial Exhibition in Sydney. In February he became a trustee of the Melbourne Public Library, Museums and National Gallery but resigned early in 1871 and settled in Sydney.
Montefiore managed the Pacific Fire and Marine Insurance Co. in 1871-91, but with T. S. Mort and other friends he formed the New South Wales Academy of Art. In 1874 he became one of the original trustees for administering the funds voted by parliament towards forming the National Art Gallery of New South Wales; it was opened on 22 September 1880. A talented black and white artist, Montefiore illustrated the catalogues of the gallery with his etchings of the principal pictures in 1883-93. Elected a member of the Royal Society of New South Wales in 1875, he contributed to its journal such essays as 'Etchings and Etchers' (1876) and 'Art Criticism' (1879). His 'Agnosticism among the poets' was published in the Sydney Quarterly Magazine, 1890. In 1889-91 he was president of the Board of Trustees and served as director of the gallery in 1892-94. In August he went to Melbourne and Adelaide to select pictures for exchange with the Sydney gallery. Soon afterwards he died at Woollahra on 22 October, aged 74, lamented by many friends, not only as a leading patron of the arts but also for his personality. Predeceased by his wife on 10 July 1882, he was survived by six daughters.A sculpture in marble by Theodora Cowan was placed in the Art Gallery of New South Wales in 1898.

from de Dirsztay tree on www.barrow-lousada.org
from Dena Jenkins
ref 31 shows birth 1860 Debrecen death 1922.
A more reliable death date comes from https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/154833866/ladislaus_baron_von-dirsztay
which gives a birthdate of 3 May 1856 Budapest (here we favour Debrecen suggested by ref 31). A more reliable alternative birthdate from ref 342 is 9 May 1856. Also from ref 342 is that Viktor’s father, Ladislaus von Dirsztay, was a rich man, a banker
and retailer, Director of the Lemberg–Czernowitz railway and imperial
consul-general for Turkey.11 Around the turn of the century he acquired an
imposing three-storey palace, which is still standing today (Rennweg 25), in
the Vienna diplomatic district, opposite the park and palace of Belvedere;
he entrusted its interior design to the architect and co-founder of the
Secession, Josef Maria Olbrich.12 I have found out from Theodor Herzl’s
(1985, 1993) diaries that in his function as consul-general of the Ottoman
empire he participated in negotiations with the Turkish government
over the acquisition of territory in Palestine.13 During the years around 1900 he acted as a sort of intermediary between Herzl and the lower
rank negotiators for Turkey. Herzl (1985) considered him ‘grotesque’ and
‘absolutely comic’ (pp. 50, 216). Once he spoke of him as the ‘Turkish
Consul-General von Dirsztay ne´ Fischl from Pest’ and thus expresses a
discrepancy between his status and his behaviour (ibid., p. 152). Elsewhere
he is outraged by Ladislaus von Dirsztay’s fondness for buying titles and
orders, for bribing others and allowing himself to be bribed.14
These not very benevolent observations are of interest to us since his
son Viktor also tried to gain advantage with the aid of money, though at
the same time acting very generously with his fortune. In Dirsztay’s
comedy Das Genie [The Genius] one imagines meeting his father in
the character of ‘Uncle Gyula, Petroleum Trade’, a corpulent, ill-educated,
wealthy old man, an endearing joker who speculates on the stock exchange
and unashamedly seeks out the company of artists and intellectuals.
He enjoys the company of the ‘genius’, a well-known writer, while the
latter is interested in him because he would like to pick up tips on buying
shares. In the same humorous manner the overlapping of capital and
art, money and poetry, is also depicted in Schlemihl. As I shall show,
the darker and intolerable side of this contradiction comes to dominate,
above all in the novel Der Unentrinnbare [The Inescapable] (Dirsztay,
1923)
they divorced and she married Count Erno Zichy - see ref 342 which advises Etelka Dirsztay, nee Steinfeld, married a second time in 1892 after divorcing
Ladislaus and became Gra¨fin Zichy zu Zich (see website of the House of Zichy zu Zich).
