Eric Dorman-smith

Eric "Chink" Dorman-Smith, during World War II, was a Commandant of the Middle East Staff College who, by December 1940, was sent as an adviser to Major-General O'Connor and the Western Desert Force. Dorman-Smith is credited with planning Operation Compass and with the discovery of a gap in the Italian lines south of Sidi Barrani. He was a godfather to one of Ernest Hemingway's sons. According to John Bierman and Colin Smith in their 2002 book , Dorman-Smith was "a practiced seducer of other men's wives." Basis Liddell-Hart called Dorman-Smith the outstanding soldier of his generation."
