Brigadier Michael Donald Keen Dauncey, DSO, DL (9 May 1920 23 August 2017) was a British Army officer who participated in Operation Market Garden during the Second World War. On the first day of the operation, 17 September 1944, Dauncey flew a Horsa glider into Arnhem. Several days of fighting ensued, during which he sustained eye injuries. Despite being blinded in one eye, he fought on, but was taken prisoner. With another officer he escaped from a Dutch hospital on a rope of knotted sheets and hid in the Utrecht English Parsonage for four months. He was later awarded the Distinguished Service Order for bravery shown during this battle.
