Major General Brian Davis, Royal Artillery, was Chief of the British Commanders'-in-Chiefs Mission to Soviet Forces in Germany between 1981 and 1982.
At the end of World War Two (1939-1945), Berlin was divided into zones, one of which was allocated to each of the Allied powers; Britain, France, the USA and the Soviet Union. Reciprocal agreements were made between the Soviet and British Commanders-in-Chiefs to exchange Military Liaison Missions to facilitate the administration of the occupied territories, whose staff would be able to travel and circulate in each zone, with the exception of some restricted areas.
