John Tillett (British Army officer) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Tillett (British Army officer) Colonel John Maurice Arthur Tillett (4 November 1919 - 14 December 2014) was a British Army officer who had a critical role in the planning of Operation Deadstick on D-Day, 6 June 1944, during the Second World War. He was one of the last surviving British Army officers to have served with 6th Airborne Division in Operation Mallard on 6 June 1944 and in Operation Varsity on 24 March 1945. He later commanded the Ugandan Army. ==Early life==
Tillett was born in Ipswich, Suffolk and was educated at Ipswich Grammar School. He went to Germany on a school hockey tour in 1936, there he encountered the Hitler Youth organisation which made him an honorary member. In Germany, he saw army manoeuvres in the Harz mountains which convinced him that war was approaching and he enlisted in the Suffolk Regiment (TA) in 1937. Tillett was commissioned into the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry in August 1940 and was posted to the 2nd Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry (The 52nd).
