AN
HK's New Military Chief Holds A Unique Army Record
Bad Oeynausen, Germany.
Major-General Cecil Stanway Sugden, recently appointed Commander of British forces in Hongkong, is one of the Army's top "hack room" brains, with the unique record of having held every rank in the War Office Military Operations and Planning Directorate from Captain to Major-General.
As one of the senior Army staff officers he took part during the war in the planning of some of the most important wartime military operations including the North African landings and the Italian and Normandy invasions.
