Major General Arthur George Denaro, CBE, DL (born 23 March 1948) is a retired British Army officer.

Denaro was born in Sungei Patani, Malaya, on 23 March 1948,[1] and raised in County Donegal, Ireland.

[8] Denaro was recovering from a polo accident four weeks earlier, when he had broken his skull in four places requiring a metal plate to be inset, but was still taking part in the exercise.

[9] As vanguard of the British attack, and "with breathtaking speed", Denaro's regiment hooked round the Iraqi right flank to cut off their line of retreat.

Both Denaro and his tank are immortalised in the Terence Cuneo painting "The Basrah Road", the original of which hangs in the regimental museum of the Queen's Royal Hussars at Athlone Kaserne in Sennelager.

[14] In 1980, Denaro married Margaret Roney Acworth (Maggi), widow of Major Michael Kealy.
