Both of these teams were terminated by wounds.

We are told that the pen is stronger than the sword, but I know which of these weapons I would choose. Carton de Viart was considered a model for Brigadier Ben Ritchie-Hook's character in Evelyn Waugh's Sword of Honour trilogy. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography described it this way: With its black eye and empty sleeve, De Viart's Boxes looked like an elegant pirate, and became a figure of legend. The early life of von Box de Viart was born into an aristocratic family in , May 5, 1880, the eldest son of Leon Box de Viart (1854-1915). According to contemporaries, he was the illegitimate son of King Leopold II of Belgium. The death of his Irish mother when he was six prompted his father to move from the family to Cairo so that his father could practice in Egyptian mixed courts. His father was a lawyer and magistrate, as well as a director of the Cairo Electric Railways and Heliopolis Oases, and was well-connected in Egyptian government circles. Adrian Boxes de Viart learned to speak Arabic. Carton de Viart was a Catholic. In 1891, his English stepmother sent him to boarding school in England, a Roman Catholic oratorio school founded by . From there he enrolled at Balliol College, Oxford, but left for the British Army during the around 1899, where he entered under the false name Trooper Carton, claiming to be 25 years old. His real age was no more than 20 years. The Second Drilling War Box de Viart was shot in the stomach and groin at the beginning of the Second Storm War and was declared invalid at home.

In men's company, he was an amazing character and must hold a world record for bad language. After his regiment was transferred to South Africa on 16 July 1904, he was promoted to Senior Lieutenant and appointed Assistant Commander-in-Chief Sir Henry Hildiard in July of the following year. He describes this period until 1914 as his Heyday, the title of Chapter 3 of his autobiography. His easy duties as an assistant de camp gave him time for polo, another of his interests. By 1907, although Carton de Viart had served in the British Army for eight years, he remained a Belgian entity. On 13 September of the same year, he took an oath of allegiance to Edward VII and was officially naturalized as a British entity.

Three days before the end of the war, on November 8, Carton de Viart was commanded by a brigade with the rank of interim brigadier general. A S Bullock gives a vivid first-hand description of his arrival: A cold tremor went down the back of everyone in the brigade because he had an unrivalled record as a fire eater, not missing any chance of throwing people under his command in any fighting that occurred. Bullock recalls how the battalion looked much worse for wear when they marched to the Brigadier General's inspection. He arrived at a live pob with a cap tilted at a rakish angle, and a shadow over the place where one of his eyes was. He also had two limbs and eleven strips of wounds. Bullock, the first person in line for inspection, notes that De Viart's Boxes, despite having only one eye, ordered him to get his bootlace changed.

Gds. For the most notable bravery, coolness and determination during the heavy operations of a long time. It was thanks to his undaunted courage and inspiring example that the serious opposite was prevented. He showed maximum energy and courage in forcing our attack After the three other battalion commanders were victims, he controlled their command and guaranteed that the land won would be preserved at all costs. He often exposed himself to organizing positions and supplies, passing unwaveringly through a fiery barrage of the most intense character. His gallantry inspired everyone.- London Gazette, September 9, 1916. His Victoria Cross is on display at the , Chelsea. After the First World War and the Polish mission Painting by Sir , 1919 (National Portrait Gallery, London) At the end of the war Box de Viart was sent to Poland as the second in command of the British-Polish military mission under the command of General . Boxes de Viart was appointed companion of the Order of Bani in 1919 on the King's Birthday Honorary List. After a brief period, he replaced General Botha on a mission to Poland. Poland desperately needed support, as it participated with Bolshevik Russia in the Polish-Soviet war, Ukrainians in the Polish-Ukrainian war, Lithuanians in the Polish-Lithuanian war and Czechs in the Czech-Polish border conflicts. There he met with Ignasi Jan Paderevsky, pianist and prime minister, Marshal Jazef Pilsudski, head of state and military commander, and General Maxim Weigand, head of the French military mission in the mid-1920s. One of his tasks soon after his arrival was to try to put peace between Poles and Ukrainian nationalists under the leadership of Simon Petlura. Ukrainians besieged the city of (Lviv; Lemberg). Discussions were unsuccessful. From there he went to Paris to report on the Polish conditions to British Prime Minister and General Sir Henry Wilson. Lloyd George did not sympathize with Poland, and, to the annoyance of the Box de Viart, Britain did not send almost any military supplies. He then returned to Poland and many other front line adventures, this time in the Bolshevik zone, where the situation was serious and Warsaw threatened. During this time he had considerable interaction with the nuntia (dean of the diplomatic corps) Cardinal Achilles Ratti, later Pius XI, who wanted the board of the Box de Viart on whether to evacuate the diplomatic corps from Warsaw. Diplomats moved to Poznan, but the Italians stayed in Warsaw with Ratti. Of all these cases, De Viart's Boxes developed sympathy for the Poles and supported their claims to Eastern . This caused controversy with Lloyd George at their next meeting, but was appreciated by the Poles. During his time in Warsaw, he was second in a duel between Polish members of the Ulyssovski Club, the second was Baron Carl Gustav Emil Mannerheim, later commander-in-chief of the Finnish armies in World War II and president of Finland. reports that he was ... compromised in operation from using stolen cars-lits . He became close to the Polish leader Marshal Pilsudski. After the plane crash, which occurred in Lithuanian captivity, he returned to England to report, this time to the Secretary of State for War Winston Churchill. He moved on to Churchill Pilsudski's prediction that the white Russia offensive led by General on Moscow would fail. It happened soon after. Churchill was more sympathetic to Polish needs than Lloyd George, and succeeded, because of Lloyd George's objections, in sending some material to Poland. On July 27, 1920, Carton de Viart was appointed assistant to the king and appointed colonel. It was active in August 1920, when the was at the gates of Warsaw. While on his observational train, he was attacked by a group of red cavalry and fought them off with a revolver from the foot of his train, at one point falling on the track and quickly boarding again.

On June 21, 1922, he was promoted to colonel-general in essence, on July 27, 1920 he received senior work, and on April 1, 1923 he relinquished his local rank of major-general, while at the same time serving half of the colonel's salary. On December 19, Carton de Viart officially retired from the army as a major-general. Polish Gentleman (1924-1939) His last Polish assistant de camp was Prince Karol Mikosai Radziewicz, who inherited a large 500,000-acre (200,000-hectare) estate in eastern Poland when the Communists killed his uncle. They became friends, and Carton de Viart got the use of a large estate called Prostony, in the marshes of Pripet, wetlands larger than and surrounded by water and forests. In this place, De Viart spent the rest of the interwar years. In his memoirs, he said, In the fifteen years that I've been in the swamps, I haven't lost a day without hunting. After 15 years, the Polish peaceful life of The Box de Viart was interrupted by the impending war when he was recalled in July 1939 and appointed to his old job as head of the British Military Mission in Poland. Poland was attacked by on 1 September, and on 17 September the with Germany attacked Poland from the east. Soon the Soviet troops captured The Sheet and Boxes de Viart lost all his guns, fishing rods, clothes and furniture. They were packed by the Councils and stored in the Museum, but destroyed by the Germans in later battles. He never saw the area again, but as he said: ... they didn't have time to take away my memories. World War II by Adrian Carton de Viart during World War II, photographed by 's Polish campaign At the end of August 1939, Carton de Viart met with the Commander-in-Chief of Poland, Marshal Eduard Rydz-Smigi, and formed a rather low opinion about his capabilities. He urged Rydz- Schmiga to take the Polish troops back to the Vistula, but to no avail. Another council, which he proposed that the naval units of the Polish fleet leave the , was, after many disputes, finally adopted. This fleet has made a significant contribution to the Allied cause, especially several modern destroyers and submarines. As the Polish resistance eased, Carton de Viart evacuated his mission from Warsaw with the Polish government. Together with the Polish commander Rydz-Schmigni, Boxes de Viart made his way along with the rest of the British mission to the Romanian border with both the Germans and the Councils in pursuit. His convoy was attacked by the on the road, and the wife of one of his assistants was killed. He was under threat of arrest in Romania and came out on a plane on September 21 with a false passport, just in time for the pro-allies of the Romanian Prime Minister, Armand Kalinescu, to be killed that day.

He ordered the take of the town of , 125 miles (200 km) to the south, combined with a naval attack and an offensive from the south by troops landed in Ndalsnes. He flew to Namsos to be able to recover before the troops arrived. When his Sunderland flying boat landed, it was attacked by a German fighter jet and his assistant was wounded and had to be evacuated. After the French Alpine troops landed (without their carriage mules and missing belts for their skis), Luftwaffe bombed and destroyed the town of Namsos. Despite these obstacles, Boxes de Viart managed to move his troops over the mountains and down to the Trondheimsfjord, where they were shelled by German destroyers. They didn't have the artillery to challenge the German ships. It soon became apparent that the entire Norwegian campaign was fast becoming a failure. The naval attack on Trondheim, the cause of the Namso landing, did not occur and its troops were deployed without weapons, transport, air cover or skis in a foot and a half of snow. They were attacked by German ski troops, shot with machine guns and bombed from the air, and the German navy led troops into its rear. He recommended that he be allowed to work, but he was asked to hold the position reasons, reasons, He did. After orders and counter orders from London, it was decided to evacuate. However, the ships did not appear within the specified time frame for the evacuation of the troops. The next night the Navy finally arrived, led by the mist of Lord Louis Mountbatten. Transport successfully evacuated all forces amid intense German bombardment, resulting in the sinking of two destroyers, the French Bison and Britain's HMS Afridi.

Hitler was preparing to invade the country, and the Yugoslavs turned to Great Britain for help. De Viart's boxes went on the Wellington bomber to , Serbia, to negotiate with the Yugoslav government. After refueling in , the plane flew to Cairo with enemy territory in the north and south. Both engines failed off the coast of Italy-controlled Libya, and the plane made an emergency landing at sea about a mile from land. De Viart's box was knocked unconscious, but the cold water made him regain consciousness. When the plane disintegrated and sank, he and the others on board were forced to swim to shore. They were captured by the Italian authorities. Po prisoner of war in Italy (1941-1943) Carton de Viart was a high-ranking prisoner. After four months at Villa Orsini in Sulmon, he was transferred to a special prison for senior officers in Castello di . Because of Rommel's success in North Africa in early 1941, there were several senior prison officers here. De Viart's boxes became friends, especially with General Sir Richard O'Connor, Daniel Knox, 6th Earl of Ranfourli and Lieutenant General Philip Nim VC. In letters to his wife, Ranfurly described the boxes de Wiart in captivity as ... delightful character and said he ... must keep the record for bad language. Ranfurli was ... endlessly amused him. He's a really good man - superbly outspoken. Four were determined to escape. He made five attempts, including seven months of tunneling. Once Carton de Viart escaped capture for eight days under the guise of an Italian peasant (he was in northern Italy, could not speak and was 61 years old, with an eye bandage, one one sleeve and multiple injuries and scars). Then, in an amazing development, Boxes de Viart was taken from prison in August 1943 and taken to Rome. The Italian government secretly planned to come out of the war and wanted Carton de Viart to send a message to the British army about a peace treaty with Great Britain. De Viart's boxes were to accompany the Italian negotiator General Giacomo zanussi to to meet with allies for the surrender talks. To keep the mission secret, De Viart's Boxes said he needed civilian clothes. Not trusting the Italian tailor, he stated that he had no objections, provided that he did not look like a gigolo. In Happy Odyssey, he described the costume as as good as anything that's ever been from Savile Row. When they reached Lisbon, Carton de Viart was released and reached England, reaching there on August 28, 1943.

Churchill informed him that he should be sent to China as his personal representative. On 9 October, he was promoted to the rank of Acting Lieutenant-General, and on 18 October 1943 he was airlifted to India. Anglo-Chinese relations were difficult in World War II, as the has long called for an end to British extraterritorial rights in China, along with the return of Hong Kong, none of the proposals welcomed by Churchill. In early 1942, Churchill had to ask Chan to send Chinese troops to help the British keep Burma from the Japanese, and after the Japanese conquest of Burma X Force five Chinese divisions ended up in eastern India. Churchill was unhappy that the X Force was defending India because it weakened Raj's prestige, and in an attempt to improve relations with China, the Prime Minister felt that a soldier with diplomatic experience, such as Carton de Viart, would be the best man to be his personal representative in China. Since his residency in China was not ready, Carton de Viart spent time in India to get an idea of the situation in China, especially being informed by the real tai pan, John Kesvik, head of the great Chinese trade empire . He met with Viceroy, Field Marshal Vikont Wavell, and General Sir Claude Ochinlek, Commander-in-Chief in India. He also with Horde Wingate.

Carton de Wiart was one of the few who was able to work with the notoriously difficult commander of U.S. forces in the Sino-Burma-Indian theater, U.S. Army Gen. Joseph Stillwell. He arrived at the headquarters of the nationalist Chinese government of in early December 1943. Over the next three years, he was to participate in various reporting, diplomacy and administrative duties in the remote wartime capital.

Most of the reporting Carton de Wiart had to do with the increasing power of the Chinese communists. Historian Max Hastings writes: De Viart despised all communists in principle, denounced Mao Tse-tung as a fanatic and added: I can't believe he means business. He told the British Cabinet that there is no conceivable alternative to Chiang as the ruler of China.He met with Mao Tse-tung at dinner and held an unforgettable exchange of views with him, interrupting propaganda speech speech him for holding on to the Japanese for political reasons. Mao was briefly stunned and then laughed. After Japan's surrender in August 1945, Carton de Viart flew to Singapore to participate in a formal surrender. After a visit to , he moved to , the now-liberated nationalist capital, accompanied by Julian Ameri, the British Prime Minister's personal representative in Chan.
