Last of the Gladiators ...





Thumbing through the war comic, I remembered when I'd been a paper boy - 

After my round, I'd spin the rack of gory wartime pages in Broadway News - 

Before he became a newsagent, Mr Ray had been a CPO - 

He'd sailed dangerous seas - 

The dialogue I skimmed today took me back to those early mornings - 

Ach ! - 

Eat lead kraut ! - 

Englander flieger ! - 

Himmel ! - I have lost the swine again ! - 

Look out skipper ! - 

Tail Gunners had it ! - 

Bomb doors open ! - 

Four down ! - 

I put down The Last of the Gladiators - 

The cost was dear -
