Sublime

Sefton Delmer,

When I commanded in Palestine in 1937–8, I had on my staff two officers in whom I recognised an original, unorthodox outlook on soldiering . . . One was Orde Wingate, the second was Dudley Clarke.

Lieutenant-Colonel Dudley Wrangel Clarke was forty-one that late 1940, having been born in Johannesburg on April 27, 1899.
