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.

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.
