CHUIE, THE MAJOR is a biographical sketch of Arthur Turner, the son of an English immigrant, driven by an undeniable patriotic commitment to helping his country in the great World War. His tenacity leads him to the front where he heroically loses a leg, setting the course for his life's work as a judge advocate in Marine and Navy courts-martial.

William Dow Turner grew up in the Chicago area, studied economics at Brown University and finance at the Columbia Business School, and then spent nearly four decades as a banker and management consultant, helping clients deal with challenges of evolving financial markets around the world. Retiring to board work and special projects has provided time to research and pull together the story of his fraternal grandfather as told here. Bill and his wife Paula live in Snowmass Village, Colorado, and have two grown sons, two grandsons, and their dog Lola.
