Now Jones had left his new-wed bride to keep his house in order,
And hied away to the Hurrum Hills above the Afghan border,
To sit on a rock with a heliograph; but ere he left he taught
His wife the working of the Code that sets the miles at naught.

And Love had made him very sage, as Nature made her fair;
So Cupid and Apollo linked , per heliograph, the pair.
At dawn, across the Hurrum Hills, he flashed her counsel wise --
At e'en, the dying sunset bore her busband's homilies.

He warned her 'gainst seductive youths in scarlet clad and gold,
As much as 'gainst the blandishments paternal of the old;
But kept his gravest warnings for (hereby the ditty hangs)
That snowy-haired Lothario, Lieutenant-General Bangs.

'Twas General Bangs, with Aide and Staff, who tittupped on the way,
When they beheld a heliograph tempestuously at play.
They thought of Border risings, and of stations sacked and burnt --
So stopped to take the message down -- and this is whay they learnt --

"Dash dot dot, dot, dot dash, dot dash dot" twice. The General swore.
"Was ever General Officer addressed as 'dear' before?
"'My Love,' i' faith! 'My Duck,' Gadzooks! 'My darling popsy-wop!'
"Spirit of great Lord Wolseley, who is on that mountaintop?"

The artless Aide-de-camp was mute; the gilded Staff were still,
As, dumb with pent-up mirth, they booked that message from the hill;
For clear as summer lightning-flare, the husband's warning ran: --
"Don't dance or ride with General Bangs -- a most immoral man."

[At dawn, across the Hurrum Hills, he flashed her counsel wise --
But, howsoever Love be blind, the world at large hath eyes.]
With damnatory dot and dash he heliographed his wife
Some interesting details of the General's private life.

The artless Aide-de-camp was mute, the shining Staff were still,
And red and ever redder grew the General's shaven gill.
And this is what he said at last (his feelings matter not): --
"I think we've tapped a private line. Hi! Threes about there! Trot!"

All honour unto Bangs, for ne'er did Jones thereafter know
By word or act official who read off that helio.
But the tale is on the Frontier, and from Michni to Mooltan
They know the worthy General as "that most immoral man."

(In Memory of a Commission)

Help for a patriot distressed, a spotless spirit hurt,
Help for an honourable clan sore trampled in the dirt!
From Queenstown Bay to Donegal, O listen to my song,
The honourable gentlemen have suffered grievous wrong.

Their noble names were mentioned -- O the burning black disgrace! --
By a brutal Saxon paper in an Irish shooting-case;
They sat upon it for a year, then steeled their heart to brave it,
And 'coruscating innocence' the learned Judges gave it.

Bear witness, Heaven, of that grim crime beneath the surgeon's knife,
The honourable gentlemen deplored the loss of life!
Bear witness of those chanting choirs that burk and shirk and snigger,
No man laid hand upon the knife or finger to the trigger!

Cleared in the face of all mankind beneath the winking skies,
Like ph]oenixes from Ph]oenix Park (and what lay there) they rise!
Go shout it to the emerald seas -- give word to Erin now,
Her honourable gentlemen are cleared -- and this is how: --

They only paid the Moonlighter his cattle-hocking price,
They only helped the murderer with counsel's best advice,
But -- sure it keeps their honour white -- the learned Court believes
They never gave a piece of plate to murderers and thieves.

They never told the ramping crowd to card a woman's hide,
They never marked a man for death -- what fault of theirs he died? --
They only said 'intimidate', and talked and went away --
By God, the boys that did the work were braver men than they!

Their sin it was that fed the fire -- small blame to them that heard --
The 'bhoys' get drunk on rhetoric, and madden at a word --
They knew whom they were talking at, if they were Irish too,
The gentlemen that lied in Court, they knew, and well they knew.

They only took the Judas-gold from Fenians out of jail,
They only fawned for dollars on the blood-dyed Clanna-Gael.
If black is black or white is white, in black and white it's down,
They're only traitors to the Queen and rebels to the Crown.

'Cleared', honourable gentlemen! Be thankful it's no more: --
The widow's curse is on your house, the dead are at your door.
On you the shame of open shame, on you from North to South
The hand of every honest man flat-heeled across your mouth.

'Less black than we were painted'? -- Faith, no word of black was said;
The lightest touch was human blood, and that, you know, runs red.
It's sticking to your fist to-day for all your sneer and scoff,
And by the Judge's well-weighed word you cannot wipe it off.

Hold up those hands of innocence -- go, scare your sheep together,
The blundering, tripping tups that bleat behind the old bell-wether;
And if they snuff the taint and break to find another pen,
Tell them it's tar that glistens so, and daub them yours again!

'The charge is old'? -- As old as Cain -- as fresh as yesterday;
Old as the Ten Commandments -- have ye talked those laws away?
If words are words, or death is death, or powder sends the ball,
You spoke the words that sped the shot -- the curse be on you all.

'Our friends believe'? -- Of course they do -- as sheltered women may;
But have they seen the shrieking soul ripped from the quivering clay?
They! -- If their own front door is shut,
they'll swear the whole world's warm;
What do they know of dread of death or hanging fear of harm?

The secret half a county keeps, the whisper in the lane,
The shriek that tells the shot went home behind the broken pane,
The dry blood crisping in the sun that scares the honest bees,
And shows the 'bhoys' have heard your talk -- what do they know of these?

But you -- you know -- ay, ten times more; the secrets of the dead,
Black terror on the country-side by word and whisper bred,
The mangled stallion's scream at night, the tail-cropped heifer's low.
Who set the whisper going first? You know, and well you know!

My soul! I'd sooner lie in jail for murder plain and straight,
Pure crime I'd done with my own hand for money, lust, or hate,
Than take a seat in Parliament by fellow-felons cheered,
While one of those 'not provens' proved me cleared as you are cleared.

Cleared -- you that 'lost' the League accounts -- go, guard our honour still,
Go, help to make our country's laws that broke God's law at will --
One hand stuck out behind the back, to signal 'strike again';
The other on your dress-shirt-front to show your heart is clane.

If black is black or white is white, in black and white it's down,
You're only traitors to the Queen and rebels to the Crown.
If print is print or words are words, the learned Court perpends: --
We are not ruled by murderers, but only -- by their friends.
Rudyard Kipling

This sock war amazes me, because it's launch by I assume, full grown adults? Perhaps even above 30's? above 40's? Older than me?
I used get into childish wars way back in IRCs, but we were like 13 yr old kids, a whole gang of us from different countries, getting pissed off at stuffy adults in the channels.

And we trolled alot. It's funny seeing full grown adults doing the same thing.

If my information is correct, thirty-eight. Of course, I'm not saying that is the age of the person's mental capacity.

Such a shame
A boy as young as he went to fight a war
So proud of his country and uniform
Just seventeen on that ANZAC Cove shore
Such a shame
There was no return to home and family
His Mum and Dad would ne'er again find peace
Now no chance to be the man he could have been
Such a shame
For he never did work in the bush on those big sheep runs
He'd said I'll be shearing soon when our job over here is done
I'll be holding a pair of shears not this loaded gun
Such a shame
He never met the lady of his life
Gave to her his hand as his mother softly cried
He didn't dance that first waltz as man and wife
Such a shame
That he never held his baby in his arms
Felt the joy and love from within a father's heart
He didn't see those first steps out in the yard
Such a shame
He never marched with his mates on that April day
Stood at dawn and heard that sad bugle play
Had a beer and a yarn and passed the time away
Such a shame
For he never got to grow old gracefully
Spend Christmas with his growing family
Live a life full of love and peace
No his body lies there so far across the sea
And that's such a shame
Such a shame

He scooped the cream, he picked the crop
harvesting the room of capable men
at country dances in Nineteen Fourteen,
peeking beneath rough shirt-sleeves
and dusty britches to the flower of youth
ripening: gleaming calves, stony chests
stacked tight into a row of faithful friends,
stiff-collared to a man, in common stubbornness.
Returning later, he gleaned the rest:
the dreamers, loungers, older men stiff of limb,
gathering them all in, taking their hand,
winning them over with his uniform, his gratitude
and manners, even the whisper of his trousers,
murmuring temptations to stand and link hands
like bashful girls in daisy chains, dancing
out of the room, into the harvest of distant tombs.

Good old HENRY - 1/21/2016 8:05:49 AM

Henry Tandey spared wounded Adolf Hitler's life in First World War - and changed the world forever.

tanding in his wrecked home, Henry Tandey watched his city burn and heard the screams of hundreds of men, women and children after an attack by 515 German bombers in wave after sickening wave.

The brave air raid warden had spent the previous 10 hours fighting his way into blazing houses, rescuing victims and pulling out bodies as the Luftwaffe tried to destroy the Coventry factories powering Britain’s war effort.

But nothing Henry did that night could ease his sickening sense of guilt.

He could have stopped this. Saved the 560-plus lives lost that night, all the horror wreaked by the Nazis and the 60million lives lost in the Second World War.

He could have changed the course of history. If only...

Two years earlier Henry Tandey, 49, had discovered that HE was the man who let Adolf Hitler live.

Two years earlier Henry Tandey, 49, had discovered that HE was the man who let Adolf Hitler live.

In the dying moments of the First World War 22 years earlier, he had pointed his rifle at a wounded German soldier trying to flee a French battlefield. Their eyes met and Henry lowered his gun. The German nodded in thanks then disappeared.

In that moment of compassion for a fellow human being, Henry, then 27, let 29-year-old Corporal Adolf Hitler walk free.

Free to become the most reviled dictator and mass murderer of all time.

“I didn’t like to shoot at a wounded man,” he said in 1940. “But if I’d only known who he would turn out to be... I’d give 10 years now to have five minutes of clairvoyance then.”

Henry Tandey, Man who didn't kill Hitler - Henry Tandey in uniform with his medals superimposedProud soldier: Henry in uniform
It was the biggest “what if?” in history and, until his death in 1977 at the age of 86, Henry had to live with the stigma of being “The Man Who Didn’t Shoot Hitler”.

In fact, he was a hero – the most highly decorated British private soldier of the First World War, holder of the Victoria Cross, Distinguished Conduct Medal, Military Medal, five mentions in dispatches and three wound stripes.

Now a new book by author and historian David Johnson has set out to make sure Henry is remembered for his astonishing gallantry.

David, who lives in Warwickshire close to Henry’s old home, spent years of research to get to the truth.

He said: “Britain’s most decorated private soldier sparing the life of Adolf Hitler makes a great story. It’s accepted by some but disputed by many others.

"The truth may never be absolutely known. But for Henry Tandey to be known more for his alleged compassion towards Hitler than for his undoubted bravery seemed to me to do him a disservice.”

The book has won praise from the former head of the Army, General Lord Dannatt, who served in the same regiment as Henry, the Green Howards.

He said: “Henry Tandey will always be remembered as the most decorated private soldier of the First World War who, with one squeeze of the trigger, might have prevented the Second World War. Dr Johnson has managed to winnow fact from fiction and produce the definitive life history of this remarkable British soldier – an ordinary man who did extraordinary things.”

For 20 years Henry had no idea he had missed the chance to kill Hitler. But in 1938 he received a shocking phone call from Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, who had just returned from a fruitless meeting with Hitler to try to talk him out of war.

Chamberlain had been invited to Hitler’s hilltop retreat in Bavaria and shown a reproduction of a famous painting called The Menin Crossroads.

Adolf Hitler - World War OneSpared: Corporal Adolf Hitler (front left) during World War I
An Italian war artist had captured soldiers of the Green Howards evacuating the wounded at the Battle of Ypres in 1914 – with Henry Tandey in the foreground carrying a comrade on his back.

Incredibly, Hitler recognised him as the man who spared him four years later on September 28, 1918.

He told Chamberlain: “That man came so near to killing me I thought I should never see Germany again. Providence saved me from such devilishly accurate fire as those English boys were aiming at us”.

Hitler asked Chamberlain to convey his best wishes and gratitude to Henry, whose response to the phone call isn’t known.

But as David points out in the book: “He would surely have reflected on how that act of compassion had been repaid.”

Henry gave only a few interviews after the story broke.

He admitted he never shot wounded, unarmed or retreating Germans, but did everything he could to kill them in battle.

In 1939 he told the Coventry Herald: “Did I see Hitler? I had the sights of my rifle on most of their gun crews, but whether I hit any of them I shall never know. I’ve wondered since how near I came to knocking down the future dictator.”

Adolf Hitler (Henry Tandey - Man Who Didn't Kill Hitler)Dictator: Hitler become a monstrous mass murderer
David’s research found remarkable similarities between Hitler and Henry. Both served on the Western Front, both were wounded several times and both were decorated for bravery.

Henry was born in Leamington Spa in 1891, the son of an ex-soldier. He was a hotel boiler engineer before enlisting in the Green Howards in 1910. When war broke out he joined the British Expeditionary Force in France. Henry arrived in Ypres on October 14, 1914, taking part in the first bloody battle there and helping to evacuate the wounded at the Menin Crossroads – immortalised in that painting.

He was wounded at the Battle of the Somme in October 1916, as was Hitler. In August 1918 at the Battle of Cabrai, Henry won the DCM for storming an enemy post with two comrades, killing several Germans and capturing 20 more.

A fortnight later he earned the Military Medal rescuing wounded men under fire and leading a bombing party into German trenches. And he won the VC on September 28, 1918 at the Battle of Marcoing. When his platoon was halted by heavy machine-gun fire Henry crawled forward to locate the gun post and led comrades to destroy it. He then rebuilt a plank bridge crossing the canal, again under a hail of bullets.

Later that evening he and eight comrades were surrounded by Germans and apparently doomed. But Henry, though badly wounded, led a bayonet charge so fierce that 37 of the enemy were driven into the hands of his company. It was the day he spared Hitler.

Green Howards MuseumMenin Crossroads After ConservationIn the picture: Hitler recognised Henry from the painting Menin Crossroads After Conservation
The story is still doubted by some. But in 1997 Major Roger Chapman of the Green Howards said: “We have no doubts he did meet Hitler and allowed him to live, an act of compassion he regretted 22 years later.”

Back home in Blighty, Henry re-enlisted in the Army a day after his discharge in 1919. Refusing promotion he served in Egypt, Gibraltar and Turkey before finally leaving in 1926.

He moved to Coventry, married twice but never had children and was a security guard at the Triumph Motor Company. When he died his ashes were buried in the British Cemetery at Marcoing in France, alongside fallen comrades and close to the spot where he spared Hitler.

As the bombs rained down on Coventry in 1940 Henry showed the same bravery that had won him a chestful of medals. He became an ARP Warden because his old wounds stopped him enlisting again – but by God, he certainly tried.

“He still saw himself as a soldier and wanted to do his bit,” said David.

“And maybe he also felt that if he’d spared Hitler’s life he had a responsibility to try and put things right.”

Correct. Certainly in the context of that thread there is no violation of the TOS or guidelines. Perhaps also Moderator 10 is simply a lackey for Moderator 3.

Oh, I'm thinking we probably meant two different things.

(I didn't read all 19 pages of that one. I think I'm on the thread way earlier than it lasted. Not during the end part where there seemed to be multiple Mods on it toward the end. Should have been if fin kink really a kink, yes?)

While I wouldn't use the term lackey, there's always going to be lesser Mods under the LMIC (Lead Mod In Cahrge) and they are going to have to abide by decisions of who is running the place. Also, you have to remember that the LMIC doesn't always have just one Admin name, either.

What I meant by it was that the Gorean man who was known as a prior Mod, as far as I know, wasn't a Mod under Mod3.

Thanks.
