Alfred Dudley Ward
General Sir Alfred Dudley Ward, GCB, KBE, DSO (27 January 1905 – 28 December 1991), was a senior officer of the British Army during the Second World War and later Governor of Gibraltar. He served as an ordinary soldier for three years before being sent for officer training in 1926. Slow peacetime career progression saw Ward achieving the rank of captain in only 1937 but the Second World War, which began in September 1939, allowed him to demonstrate his high ability as both a staff officer and commander in the field. Receiving command of the ] at the unusually young age of 39 years and 3 months, Ward went on to hold staff and field appointments at the highest levels after the war.
