Sowerbutt's Visit

Six days after the grenade attack, Brendan Bracken, followed by the slight military man, stepped out of the government Daimler, pulled up outside the Soviet Embassy in Kensington Palace Gardens.

Sowerbutt's Motor-Bike

As the motor-bike raced towards Kensington High Street, two white and yellow explosions tore through the braking Austin, the roof flying into the air. Flames and smoked engulfed the car with another explosion as the petrol tank went up.

Sowerbutt's Grenades

Sowerbutt fired four shots from his Enfield revolver, shattering the car window. The two Mills grenades with four-second fuses followed, the motor-bike screaming away.

Sowerbutt's Balaclava

Spotting a black Austin 8 pulling into Kensington Palace Gardens from Bayswater Road, Gerard and Sowerbutt pulled on their balaclavas.

Sowerbutt's Shooter

Both men carried Enfield No 2 revolvers with the serial numbers filed off.  A number had been stolen recently from Gough Barracks in Armagh. Sowerbutt also had two Mills grenades in his jacket pockets which he had bought from his mate in the Tower Hamlets Rifles.

Sowerbutt's Bullet

“A single bullet as he passes, Mr Sorbay, and he would be a dead man,” Lee Gerard said. “Clean, fast and we could disappear.”

Sowerbutt's Enemy

Sowerbutt blew a smoke ring at the ceiling. “Vershinin. The arrogant bastard acts with impunity in the Smoke. Snatches you from one of our larders and he cuts one of my men. No-one does that and survives."

Sowerbutt's Rules

“My rules are simple. I minimise risks, I look after the Family and I deal with anyone who crosses my path,” Sowerbutt said.

Sowerbutt's Fears

Churchill growled: "I fear King Victor Emannuel is in a quandry.  Fearful of staying and the consequences of defeat, fearful of fleeing and an uncertain future."

Sowerbutt's Bodies

“Hard to get death certificates with one body shot and the other stabbed,” Sowerbutt smiled.

Sowerbutt's Commission

"My chap Sneed is full of good ideas to leak to Jerry. Not exactly officer material, but we may need to commission him – wartime only. Can’t take a sergeant to a conference with MI5 or this ridiculous Twenty Committee they are setting up.”

Sowerbutt's Thanks

Brendan Bracken, whose legs were stretched out across the Cabinet table, blew a smoke ring. “The Old Man wanted to thank you, John, for a damn fine job. But he’s away in Portsmouth, they had a rough time of it a few days ago.”

Sowerbutt's Date

"By a roundabout route, Mr Bracken has arranged for what we think is the date of the Jerry invasion to fall into Soviet hands. Whether the little corporal will keep to the date, we know not."

Sowerbutt's Fingers

“Sorbay is back running his black market, sir. Has his fingers in just about every pie in the East End."

Sowerbutt's Ally

“The Old Man is determined to ally ourselves with Moscow when the balloon goes up. I wonder where that will lead us? When the Red empire collapses, we can say we tried.”

Sowerbutt's Cash

“Gingernut is paying us good money – cash, of course. As long as Jerry doesn’t paddle over and change the currency, we are doing alright."

Sowerbutt's Friendship

“Your Government is at a loss, Majesty,” Churchill growled. “When information has come into our possession, we have attempted to pass it to the Kremlin. In our present circumstances, we seek friendship with the Soviets despite their dallying with Jerry. However, our attempts have been rebuffed."

Sowerbutt's Victories

“After a winter of despair, our victories offer a spark of hope, Majesty. Some, like Bardia and now Tobruk, we can trumpet. Others, we must cloak with the veil of silence, perhaps forever,” Churchill growled.

Sowerbutt's Plan

“This operation will save thousands of British lives. Bringing forward Jerry and the Reds grappling by a day, a week, a month will save London and our cities."

Sowerbutt's Wife

Looking at her difficult man, Polly said: “Any news of your wife, Sorbay? I’m sure you would have told me, but you understand my interest.”

Sowerbutt's Troubles

Sowerbutt sighed: “We’ve had a hard few days, Polly. The Reds snatched Lee, cut Cocker and did over his cousin."

Sowerbutt's Warning

Pop said: “Remember dealing with the enemy is treason and that’s the firing squad at the Tower. You must not breathe a word of this to anyone.”

Sowerbutt's Voyage

"Once your sister gets to Pozzallo, Darby Sabini's lads will smuggle her and the bambino across to Malta."

Sowerbutt's Friend

“Where have you been on your travels, Pop?” Bernie asked. “Bucket and spade at the seaside? Southend, Clacton?” Pop grinned: “Been to see Darby Sabini.”
