Let p be odd prime and suppose that G = 〈a, b〉 where ap-1 = bp = 1, a-1 ba = br, and r is a generator of the multiplicative group of integers mod p. An explicit characterization of the group of normalized units V of the group ring ZG is given in terms of a subgroup of GL(p - 1, Z). This characterization is used to exhibit a normal complement for G in V.
