  • Brigadier John Cecil Currie (1898 - 26 June 1944) was an officer in the British Army during World War II. As part of Iraqforce (or Paiforce in Persia), Brigadier Currie commanded the 9th Armoured Brigade during the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Persia. His brigade was part of Hazelforce commanded by Brigadier J.A. Aizlewood. During the Battle of El Alamein, he played a key and indeed some would say heroic and self-sacrificing part in the Operation Supercharge phase. Once again, he was commander of the 9th, forming part of Freyburg's 2nd Division (New Zealand). He was later killed in France while leading the 4th Armoured Brigade.
