The Two Types blasted their way into the affections of all readers of British Army newsXpapers in North Africa, Italy, Sicily, Southern France and Greece. The Two Types, for all their deceptively fatuous appearance, are characters of violence and action. They do not coax. They do not wheedle. Their attitude to the world and everyone in it is "Hit or miss". Either vou like us or you hate us. We don't worry a damn either way. They came overseas as Army officers, battered into an appreciation of the niceties of dress and deportment by ferocious 0. C.T.U. ComXmandants and unbending Commanding Officers. It took the Western Desert to transform them into the 'Two Types'.

Perhaps members of the Forum would care to see more of these characters whose antics helped to raise the morale of those of us who served with 8th Army.
