And how can you guys forget that Churchill, then a rating,
minutes before his vessel's chief could move out to the
door of the ramp, strutted towards it as if he were the boss
and the host country's naval band struck up? The latter-day
Sir Winston was almost court-marshalled from the Royal
Navy!

You got that right, Al. And Churchill made it to the North-West thanks to the chemin-de-fer, later the Bombay, Baroda and Central
India, or BBCI Railroad, built by Parsee and Goan fitters trained by Jessup, Richardson Cruddas and Greaves Cotton. eric.

"At that time I had a pair of a half-rat-powered goanese servants,
brought at a great expense from down country, who, the moment
hostilities broke out, presented themselves with telegrams reporting
deaths of their mother & father respectively."
