The burial form, a typed foolscap sheet with the printed heading of Poplar Coroner’s Court giving details of the inquest and a cutting from the London Evening Standard reporting a fatal road accident on the East India Dock Road, together with a number of loose foolscap sheets and other material, were contained in a water-stained beige HMSO-issue file.

Sowerbutt's Coffin
A curious assortment of eyes watched the coffin being lowered into the grave at the cemetery, a stone’s throw from Mile End Road in London’s East End, still flattened after the recent war.

Sowerbutt's Truce
“You’ve broken the truce, Sorbay, you bastard. We’ll be after you ten-fold, we’ll sweep you Blackshirt bastards from the streets of Poplar like horse dung."

Sowerbutt's Blade
Sowerbutt ran the needle-sharp point of the blade across the teacher’s exposed throat, leaving a thin red line in its wake.

Sowerbutt's Body
By the time the parachutist's 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.

Sowerbutt's Eye
“You won’t get away with this, Sorbay, you bastard,” the hawk-faced man with a shock of black hair said. His right eye was already starting to close.

Sowerbutt's Revenge
Sowerbutt buried himself in the Mirror, reading several letters calling for reprisal air raids against Berlin. “Teach the Jerries a lesson they won’t forget,” said one. “I want 100 dead Jerries to make up for my darling Peter,” said another.

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 Whale
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 Run
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 Generals
Churchill sat at the large table, strewn with maps. “Do they think they outrank me? The generals believe they are a law unto themselves and not subject to the will of His Majesty’s duly-elected Government."

Sowerbutt's Talks
Churchill said: "Franco is a tough negotiator. We offered to pay him hard currency for a couple of his Republican prisoners, experts in murder and mayhem. He had them hung instead, just to spite us.”
