Redmond Cunningham
Major Redmond Christopher Archer Cunningham MC and Bar, Croix de Guerre (25 December 1916 - 1 December 1999), was one of the most highly decorated Irish officers serving in the British army during World War II and was the only Irishman to receive the Military Cross on D-Day.〔"My Dad the D-Day Hero" in the ''Weekend Herald'' newspaper. June 5th 2004, pp. 18-19〕 After the war, 'The Major', as he became known, married and became a successful architect in his home town of Waterford. An unrepentant bon vivant with a nose for a flutter, Cunningham led a colourful life.
==Early Days==
Cunningham was born to a large family in the Ballybricken area of Waterford City on Christmas Day in 1916. Brought up in the middle of 15 (13 survived childhood), Cunningham was schooled at the local Christian Brothers and was named after his godfather John Redmond, the former leader of Ireland's Home Rule party. Cunningham's father was an election agent for the Home Rule party in Waterford and a staunch supporter of its goals.〔"The Day the Future was Won" in The Irish Times June 5, 2004〕
