Sowerbutt knew that One-Line worried about being spotted in the street as an army deserter. But his papers and disguise were good. Twice a week, Bernie the barber made sure One-Line’s hair and his old-fashioned moustache stayed black. His horn-rim glasses were another prop, if not popular with their new owner.
Sowerbutt organised weekly lessons with Madame Komarovski to change One-Line’s gait, knowing people were recognised by the way they move. “You think of everything, guv,” the big man said after his first lesson. But Sowerbutt knew the best protection for One-Line was the loyalty of the streets. Few of the thousands of deserters and call-up dodgers in wartime Britain were ever caught and punished. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Colour-Lemon-Surrender-1940-ebook/dp/B008USR7FA
