Douglas Gracey
General Sir Douglas David Gracey & Bar (3 September 1894 – 5 June 1964) was a British Indian Army officer in both the First and Second World Wars. He also fought in French Indochina and was the second Commander-in-Chief of the Pakistan Army. Gracey held this latter office from 11 February 1948 until his retirement on 16 January 1951. Born to English parents living in India, he was educated in English schools before returning to India to serve in the military there.
==Early life and career==
Educated at Blundell's School and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, Gracey was commissioned in September 1915 from the unattached list of the Indian Army into the 1st King George's Own Gurkha Rifles (The Malaun Regiment) with the rank of 2nd lieutenant. He saw First World War active service in France and was awarded the Military Cross in 1917 and again in 1919. The citation to his first MC read:
As is often the case in wartime he held postings at various times with more senior acting rank, but was formally promoted lieutenant in August 1917 and captain with effect from August 1918.
Between the Wars he became an Instructor at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, in 1925, commanding one of the cadet companies. In peacetime promotion came slowly and brevet ranks were used as an interim step to the next rank up for officers who performed well. In 1930 Gracey received promotion to Brevet Major. In late 1931 he was appointed a General Staff Officer 2 at GHQ India and by the time this appointment finished in late 1935 he had received his promotion to major. In early 1937 he was given another GSO2 posting at Western Command in India.〔(Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives )〕 Having waited so long to be raised from captain to major, his next advancements to brevet lieutenant-colonel and lieutenant-colonel came quite quickly, in January 1938 and February 1939.
