High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Xan Fielding, born Alexander Wallace Fielding DSO (26 November 1918 19 August 1991), was a British writer and translator, noted for his English translations of Planet of the Apes and The Bridge on the River Kwai, both by Pierre Boulle. A British Special Operations Executive agent in World War II, Fielding won the DSO after serving as commander of the underground forces in western Crete with Patrick Leigh Fermor. Later (1944), he was captured in France by the Gestapo together with Francis Cammaerts and a French officer, Christian Sorensen, while travelling from Apt to Seyes. The three men were, however, soon freed and thus saved from imminent execution by the remarkable intercession of the Polish SOE agent, Krystyna Skarbek.
