A description is given of the unit group for the two groups G = D12 and G = D8 × C2. In particular, it is shown that in both cases the bicyclic units generate a torsion-free normal complement. It follows that the Bass-cyclic units together with the bicyclic units generate a subgroup of finite index in for all n ≥ 3.
