Gen. Pettygree's Tincture of Obfuscation
« on: March 02, 2014, 06:36:47 PM »
My dear Chaps,
General Pettygree's latest chapter is below:
-----
http://generalpettygree.blogspot.com/2014/03/chapter-69-pettygrees-tincture-of.html
-----
You might want to play marching music whilst reading - for atmosphere.
It's 1903. The General is in Alexandria commencing his plan to recover the lost Port of Suakin and subdue a newly rising rebellion in The Soudan - with a tincture of obfuscation.
-----
Cheerio,
Bill

Bill's tales are always fun.  But what is up with an elephant in the Sudan - or Alexandria, Egypt I suppose?  Has there been an escape from the local potentate's menagerie!?  Just have to wait and see!

Lovely stuff, as always!  :-*

Is that Gregory Peck on the right of the picture with the heliograph?

Thank you for all the other remarks too.
Cheers from me to you all!,
