Major Dennis Fox MBE (1920-1993) was an officer of the British Army. During the Second World War he led the first platoon to land at Horsa Bridge in the gliderborne 2nd Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry (the 52nd) coup de main operation, part of Operation Deadstick, during the opening minutes of D-Day, 6 June 1944. The capture of both Pegasus Bridge and Horsa Bridge was considered to be critical to securing the eastern flank of the Normandy landings area.
