Arthur Percival
Lieutenant General Arthur Ernest Percival & Bar, (26 December 1887 – 31 January 1966) was a British Army officer and First World War veteran. He built a successful military career during the interwar period but is most noted for his defeat in the Second World War, when he commanded the forces of the British Commonwealth during the Japanese Malayan Campaign and the subsequent Battle of Singapore.
Percival's surrender to the invading Imperial Japanese Army force is the largest capitulation in British military history, which undermined the United Kingdom's prestige as an imperial power in the Far East.〔Taylor, ''English History 1914–1945'', p657〕〔Morris, ''Farewell the Trumpets'', p452〕 However, current knowledge about the years of under-funding of Malaya's defences and the inexperienced, under-equipped nature of the Commonwealth army has enabled certain commentators to hold a more sympathetic view of his command.〔Smyth, ''Percival and the Tragedy of Singapore''〕
