Field Marshal Lord Bramall KG GCB OBE MC
As a young infantry officer with the Kings Royal Rifle Corps, Bramall landed on Juno Beach on D-Day + 2 and was soon in action against German forces counter attacking north west from Caen. On July 16 he was wounded near Maltot, returning to his battalion in time to see the Falaise pocket closed in August. He was decorated with the MC by Field Marshal Montgomery. He went on to a long and distinguished military career which he completed as Chief of the General Staff from 1979 to 1982. Later he was a much respected Trustee (for 15 years) and Chairman (for 9 years) of the Imperial War Museum.
