Then I was made a sergeant and sent on an Intelligence course. Perhaps because he produced the delightful ‘ c a r e l e s s posters for the Ministry of Infor mation, the phoney war period always makes me think of the figure of Kenneth Bird, or ‘ Fougasse’. These posters have become collectors’ items. Bird took the name Fougasse from a French bomb which blew him up during the First World War. He then had completely to relearn how to draw. He became a Christian Scientist, and editor of Punch, and I was to see a lot of him when I t a l k cos ts l i v e s ’ Military wedding group, 1940, myself as sergeant extreme left.
That was one reason why they struck me as much less intelligent than the Indian students. Egyptian officials, among whom we teachers were numbered, wore the tarboosh; any Egyptian therefore who wanted to avoid trouble put on a hat (hawaga) instead of the tarboosh, for the tarboosh indicated loyalty to the ‘dummy’ ruler, installed by the British, King Fuad. He, poor fellow, used to bark when he spoke, having been shot in the neck. We were warned at the court that it was ‘bad form' to notice the barking.
Graham Greene is almost the same age as I am. I have always been very fond of him, for he is a kind and generous man who helps people in a quiet, unobtrusive and practical way. And our experiences in Intelligence in Africa in the Second World War were nearly parallel. He is one of England’s finest storytellers and novelists. At present his fame stands very high, certainly because of his sheer craftsmanship, ability to entertain at a serious level and his sense of irony, but possibly also, I wonder, because this is a comparatively lean period in this country for literature.
