John Graham (British Army officer, born 1923)
Major General John David Carew Graham, CB, CBE, CStJ (18 January 1923 - 14 December 2012) was a British Army officer who was instrumental in the installation of Qaboos bin Said as Sultan of Oman.
==Early career==
Educated at Cheltenham College 1936–1940, he first served with the Isle of Wight Home Guard, before enlisting into the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in August 1941. In 1942, he was commissioned into the 2nd Battalion of that regiment, serving with them in North West Europe, where he received a mention in despatches. Following the war, he served in Palestine with the 1st Battalion.〔
In late 1948 he was sent to London to learn Czech prior to working in the British Embassy in Prague 1949-1950. There he clandestinely assessed the Czech Armed Forces activities, including the building of airfields, barracks and the adaptation of the Czech-gauge railway lines to take Russian rolling stock, all at a time of great tension, when a Soviet attack on war-exhausted western Europe was thought by many to be inevitable and imminent.〔
Later he worked in the British Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) in London. He transferred to The Parachute Regiment where was appointed Second-in-Command of the 2nd Battalion and later Commanding Officer of the 1st Battalion (1964–1967).〔
