Padre (Reverend) C. H. D. Cullingford. 1st Bn. Welsh Guards At the battle of Arras according to 'Dunkirk and the Fall of France' there was a distinct shortage of provisions. The above Padre according to the book I'm reading organised 'effective' looting raids into the abandoned shops in the city.

Cecil Cullingford became Headmaster of Monmouth School in 1946. In his autobiography Victor Spinetti called him the "muscular Christian". Cullingford did a great deal to turn the school round from a run down wartime edifice to the fine institution it is today. He wasn't universally liked. He was also an expert on caving. He introduced caving to the pupils and was very active in South Wales in the 1950s.
