These gentleman were Clumsy KPs. 



I went to Clumsy after the Italy project.  Both KPs spoke Italian, as did most of the older Arabs.  I could speak some Italian which made me automatically their go to guy.

I was invited to their tent for tea, introduced to others as their very good American friend etc. 

On one occasion we meet the father of KP-1, shown here at a watering point on a main N-S road. 

He got me into places I normally could not as in the tent with the three children.  He knew the family.
