ARMY ATHLETES: OLYMPIC & PARALYMPIC WINTER GAMES @ Sep 2020

From the inaugural Olympic Winter Games (Chamonix 1924) until Garmisch-Partenkirchen 1936 there were no “official” Army winter sports activities. The following are known to have competed for GBR whilst serving in the Army:

RANK	NAME	UNIT	DISCIPLINE	GAMES
Lt	Thomas Arnold	Wiltshires	Bob	1924 (4-man SILVER)
Maj	Ralph Broome	RTC	Bob	1924 (4-man SILVER)
Capt	Frederick (Boy) Browning	GREN GDS	Bob	1928
Maj	Eric Carruthers	RA	Ice Hockey	1924 (BRONZE), 28
Lt	Percy Legard	5 INNIS DG	Nordic Combination	1936
Maj	Alexander Richardson	Bedfords	Bob	1924 (4-man SILVER)

The Army Winter Sports Association was founded as the Army Ski Association in 1947. Army Winter Olympians from 1948 (St. Moritz) – 2018 (PyeongChang) are listed below:

At the first post War Olympic Winter Games in St Moritz 1948, “Winter Pentathlon” (Alpine, Cross Country, Equestrian, Fencing, Shooting) made its only Olympic appearance – as a Demonstration Sport. The BOA does not appear to recognise the 1948 “Winter Pentathlon” although the results are recorded in the Official IOC Report for St Moritz 1948. All four GBR athletes were serving in the Army at the time. Maj Derek Allhusen, who was awarded the US Silver Star in 1944, was a remarkable athlete and at the age of 54 went on to win Olympic Gold & Silver Medals in the Three Day Event in Mexico City 1968. Maj Percy Legard won no medals, but competed in Modern Pentathlon in the 1932 & 1936 Summer Games and in the Nordic Combined in the 1936 OWG!
