The crocodile is a saurian amphibious reptile,
from belief The Nile species they say it wept-tears while devouring or to allure its victims,its sly eyes as it lies,in the water the elongated body. No movement you would think it was doped with ether. Then snap it will rise to the surface unexpectedly for air,slow and slinky crawl along on earth and land.
The submarine was coming back from war,Captain Joe
bringing his Navy men back many wounded on the war ship,wearing their Navy uniforms. He had said "up periscope" as he looked could see the crocodile as if asleep lying there!
Sailors some been rejoicing war was over,having tots of rum,in the mess all bit squiffy.
celebration on board there was 'Dame Vera Lynn'
singing 'Where Meet Again'. Some of the men,having
a fag or roll up,baccy tap ends on baccy tin before
smoking. Nicotine fingers deeply stained. Nerves worry shattered. Most handing out John Players cigarettes. Sausage rolls,corn beef sandwiches on tin plates,and mugs used for tea with brandy in for shock! The officers pipped the captain as he and all that could,walk made it down the gangplank carrying their kit bags. Screams,hugs tears and laughter bit,people wanted to touch the Sailors collar known thing for luck.
As captain called all their names out previously,five wandered of to the beach, Horatio Nelson Michael Peter and George, suffered memory loss,they thought if they got to the beach to paddle their feet,and bathe their wounds would release their pain.
Wounded disorientated. Thinking they were back in the desert walking through a mirage.
Another platoon of soldiers all had such a terrible time fighting. Crawling on their bellies,and covered in camouflage.
So delighted to see the sun shining,in the bright sky! Captain Joe had to save his men,only one alternative. Commanded to shout fire! five times,shot the crocodile.
Planes coming home, flying over head,from a smokey atmosphere wind howling,the illuminated silvery moon showing a light for all. Dan the pilot switched on his radio it was playing the Theme from the Damn Busters. Those that could met their loved ones waving on the quay.
Babies dressed in all sailor suits,and children.
Everyone waiting to go to a tent,have a nip of brandy in tea for shock! and to warm them up. Captain Joe had laid on ambulances Dr's and nurses.
S O S been sent off.
But of course my belated pop! was a Navy man to,but never met a crocodile.
Two of pops sons also in the Navy. All been on H.M.S Aircraft carriers. One was Ark Royal now gone! In dock once. Another H.M.S. Bulwark. I think pop! was on H.m.s. Victorious. We had one photo of him,went missing in uniform,wish I had one so smart. Shoes polished,hats right angle. Decks washed down,bunk beds made,time was punctuality.
MP David Cameron wants to cut everything down,think all should be increased for safety of the future.
I remember pop! making his models of them.
If we had a holiday,mine loved to see exhibition and pictures of the war but when the sound of the sirens went,I couldn't stand memories from a child my hands still go over my ears. Once had narrow escape here with my mum then,I was only about 6-7 years old going for appointment,Royal Alexandra Hospital,this awful noise,my mum threw me down on the ground a plane could have been a Mezzaschmidt,or doodle bug landed just missed us.
Hit the wall of St.Nicolas Church.
We were then coming out dark but high Arcade Brighton that was frightening enough,
for the bus up the hill.
But wars are still continuing lives are lost!
Pray for peace to reign one day.
