Winston Oswald Forman (1901-1971) was born in England and moved to Egypt in the 1920s. A teacher and translator of Arabic, he was well placed for the Allies at the time of the outbreak of World War II. Forman became a British Army officer in the Royal Hampshires who worked with Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) and other clandestine military units of the North African campaign in World War II, liaising with locals behind enemy lines. His knowledge of Arabic and local customs assisted greatly with the gaining of support for the Allied cause in that theatre of the war.
