Nigel Seed
“You know sir. When we get home nobody is going to believe this. How the hell could anybody be that brave? It makes no sense.”
“You’re right, but we’ll know. Everybody who has stood and watched a Dervish charge is never going to forget it.”
Nigel Seed, No Road to Khartoum

Mark   Ellis
“Trenton got up and made for the bathroom. On the way he paused to put a record on the gramophone. He loved music first thing in the morning and his good friend Fred Astaire was a particular favourite. As he stepped into the bath, he began to sing along. ‘Da da da da da da…I’m putting’ on my top hat, tying up my white tie, brushing’ off my tails.”
Mark Ellis, Death of an Officer
