D.S.O. [Major-General Sir Francis Wilfred "Freddie" de Guingand, KBE, CB, DSO (28 February 1900 ? 29 June 1979), was a British Army officer who served as Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery's chief of staff from the Second Battle of El Alamein until the end of the war. He played an important diplomatic role in sustaining relations between the notoriously difficult Montgomery and his peers and superiors.] Chief of Staff, Eigth Army, 1942-1943 Chief of Staff, 21st Army Group, 1944-1945 Illustrated By: N/A Format: Hardcover, Language: English Dust Jacket: No Jacket, Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket Published By: Hodder & Stoughton, London octavo (8vo 6 × 9 152 × 229),Pages 488 ISBN: The important second world war memoir contains some controversial passages, most notably an account of the broad front versus narrow front controversy of late 1944, which would sour the post-war relationship between Eisenhower and Montgomery. Montgomery wrote a letter to de Guingand in longhand in which he praised the book, but noted that he could not recall de Guingand ever dissenting with him about his strategy. Lieutenant-Colonel Miles Graham went further and wrote a letter to The Times that was published on 24 February defending his wartime contention that the narrow front advance was logistically feasible. De Guingand is considered to have played a crucial role in the campaign in North West Europe. Richard Mead considered his partnership with Montgomery as "one of the great military partnerships, to be ranked alomgside Napoleon and Berthier." In his memoirs, Montgomery wrote of de Guingand: His fertile brain was full of ideas and he was never defeated by the difficulties of any problem. He could take from me an outline conception of a plan, work out the staff details, and let me know quickly of it was possible from a staff point of view: and if not, what changes in substance were desirable. He accepted responsibility readily. I gave him full powers. If he couldn't get hold of me he would give a major decision himself and I never once questioned any such decision. I trusted him completely; he seemed to know instinctively what I would do in any given situation, and he was always right.

First Edition
8vo., First Edition, on laid paper, with portrait frontispiece, 53 maps (the majority full-page) in the text, and front and rear endpaper maps; handsomely bound in full dark red crushed morocco, sides with gilt frame border, back with raised bands, second and fourth compartments lettered and ruled in gilt, all other compartments tooled in gilt with lions, crown and swords, gilt top, hand-made endpapers, ribbon marker, original backstrip mounted on new leaf at front, a most attractive copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BRITISH COMMAND MEMOIRS OF WWII. Chief of Staff to Montgomery for the latter half of the war, Francis de Guingand served first with Eighth Army (1942-1943) and subsequently with 21st Army Group (1944-1945) in one of the closest and most successful partnerships of the war. 'We were complete opposites; he [de Guingand] lived on his nerves and was highly strung; in ordinary life he liked wine, gambling and good food. Did these differences matter? I quickly decided they did not; indeed, differences were assets.' (Montgomery, Memoirs); he added later that he never regretted his decision. Given Monty's acerbic approach to soldiering, De Guingand's talents as a diplomat were nearly as important as his military skills. This was particularly true in relations with Eisenhower (who opined that De Guingand 'lived the code of the Allies'). Enser, p.475.
