Denis Edward Arnold

Denis Edward Arnold MC (16 July 1918 – 14 January 2015) was a British Army officer of the Second World War who won the Military Cross in 1944[1] for an opportunistic attack on a Japanese force while serving with the Chindits in Burma.

While in Burma, Arnold received a letter from his mother containing a pledge card that he would abstain from alcohol.

On returning to England with a bottle of whisky that he was saving for a celebration, Arnold was told by a customs officer that he must pay duty on the spirit.

After leaving the army, Arnold rejoined his former employers the Blue Circle Group, eventually becoming overseas operations director.
