Major-General Douglas Alexander Henry Graham CB, CBE, DSO & Bar, MC, DL (26 March 1893 – 28 September 1971) was a senior officer of the British Army who fought with distinction in both World War I and World War II. During his early life he studied at the University of Glasgow. When the First World War broke out in August 1914, Graham was serving in the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) and during the conflict was rescued by Henry May, the action that led to May being awarded the Victoria Cross. Shortly before the start of the Second World War, Graham was given command of the 2nd Battalion, Cameronians. He commanded several different brigades and divisions during the Second World War including the 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division during the Normandy landings as part of Operation Overlord.
