Loftus-Tottenham was an Irishman who commanded 81
West African Division in Burma
during the last two years of the war. Slim barely mentions him in
his memoirs, which is not a good sign, given that Slim looked for
excuses to praise his subordinates. Slim criticized 81 West African
Division for requiring eight times as many white officers and NCOs as a typical Indian division
and for making excessive use of unarmed porters, though he also felt it
was more at home in the jungle than
any other unit under his command.
