Hi all,

I would like to ask for help in one unusual matter.

When one RAF airmen got killed in suicide attack with lonely Beaufort against Gneisenau in Brest his fellow make a note into his diary:
"He found his death precisely like we expected it from the Colourful head of our “Camel Corps”."

Can anybody explain me the meaning of terms "Colourful head" and “Camel Corps” as I am not English native speaker.

I suppose it will be reflection of RAF Staff or the commanders who planned the operations which killed his comrade but I would like to know the exact meaning of these phrases.

TIA

Pavel
