I think one of the best things you can read about the desert war us Spike Milligan’s ‘Hitler my part in his downfall’ His first meeting with Harry Secombe seems typical of his experience

t was in North Africa, during WWII, as Gunner Milligan, 954024, that Spike first met Harry Secombe. The circumstances of their meeting were only narrowly non-fatal. Milligan’s 25-pounder gun jumped out of its placement due to recoil, and ran down the hill narrowly missing another gun unit. Spike went down the hill and asked, “Has anyone seen a gun?” One of the men in the other gun unit said, “What colour?” It was Harry Secombe.
