Monash's reputation stood extraordinarily high; many
who were in a position to judge considered him the fore
most military commander on the Allied side. He was also
a general who detested war but who took fierce pride in the
achievements of the Australians as an independent
force.
In 1919 Monash carried out the repatriation and de
mobilisation of the Australian forces in Europe. In 1920
he accepted the general managership of the new State
Electricity Commission of Victoria and in 1921 became
full-time chairman of the Commission. The immense task
of developing the State's brown coal in the.~trobe V~lle_y
