Freddie de Guingand
Major-General Sir Francis Wilfred de Guingand KBE, CB, DSO (28 February 1900 – 29 June 1979), better known as Freddie de Guingand, was a British Army officer who served with Montgomery from El Alamein to the surrender of the Wehrmacht in the West. He was a brilliant staff officer, evidenced by the fact that Montgomery, who demanded nothing less than perfection, retained him as chief of staff for over two and a half years. He was also a consummate diplomat whose skills proved vital in sustaining relations between the notoriously difficult Montgomery and his peers and superiors.〔
==Early life==
De Guingand was born in Acton (West London), the second of three brothers, and a younger sister. His parents moved to London from Yorkshire.
After the Navy rejected him for being colour blind, he joined the Army. De Guingand was educated at Ampleforth College and graduated from the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, in 1918. He joined the West Yorkshire Regiment (the Prince of Wales's Own) in December 1919, and was promoted to lieutenant on 17 December 1921.〔(London Gazette, 23 December 1921 )〕 He was seconded to the King's African Rifles from 1926 to 1931; during this time he was promoted to the temporary rank of captain on 10 June 1929〔(London Gazette, 11 June 1929 )〕 and to the permanent rank on 8 March 1930.〔(London Gazette, 4 April 1930 )〕 He was the Officer Commanding Troops, Nyasaland, 1930–1931 before returning to his regiment in October 1931. He was appointed regimental adjutant in July 1932 and then served as Military Assistant to the Secretary of State for War, 1933–1936, and again 1939-1940. He was promoted major in August 1938.
Despite failing the entrance exams to attend Staff College, he was nominated for the 1935-36 course at Camberley through the intervention of Montgomery, with whom he had served in the 1920s and formed a friendship.〔Mead (2007), p. 112〕
