Sowerbutt's Blackout
A khaki figure appeared out of the dark, puffing and swearing to himself. “Can’t see my bleeding hand in front of my face in this blackout,” Lance-Corporal Alf Duggett of the Hyde Home Guard muttered.

By the time the body hit the roadway with a sickening crunch, the letters and other papers secured in a calfskin pouch hanging around the dead man’s neck had burnt to ash.

The Coronel smiled. “Benidorm will become the holiday capital of Europe. Your English factories are working again, as are the French and even the Germans with all their damned American money. The workers want their sun, their San Miguel and, above all, their sex.”
Sowerbutt's Parachutist
The 55-year-old stopped, almost dropping his Boer War-issue Lee Enfield rifle. “Gawd’s sake, it’s a bleeding parachutist. Must be a Jerry invader.”

The pink whale sank below the waves again. Seconds ticked by, then Churchill erupted again from the soapy water, spluttering and sending water splashing over the sides of the tub onto the thick towels.

Sowerbutt's Race
Shapiro watched goggle-eyed as Tipper lit a twist of cloth and tossed it towards a pool of paraffin not far from the sacks of fertiliser. Tipper later told Sowerbutt he was not sure who made the yard door first, he had never expected the fat little man to move so fast.
Sowerbutt's Bonfire
The fire that Tipper lit under the gas pipe in the empty building had done the trick. A column of blue and yellow flames shot into the air.

Sowerbutt's Orders
Churchill growled: "Archie Wavell was given a direct order to attack the Eyeties at Sidi Barrani. Sitting targets and hopeless troops, deserting by the lorry-load. How does he reply? He’s busy training his army and building up his equipment. December is his earliest date for an offensive."

Sowerbutt's Rules
Tipper snapped at the guard: “You can pace up and down, you can smoke, you can take a piss, but you will not leave your post.”
