Paul William Gallico - Born: 26th July 1897, New York City - Died: 15th July 1976, (76), Antibes, France - American.
'Bumph!' he shouted. 'Bloody, all-fired, eternal bumph! You've buried me in bumph!' A more than usually destructive foray into the town of Gibraltar on the part of Scruffy, the largest, meanest, ugliest Ape on the Rock sends the Brigadier in Command into a fit of fury.
For Captain Tim Bailey, Officer in Charge of Apes, it is the beginning of a period of life in the doghouse. For the Apes it means a period of neglect, as the exigencies of the war take soldiers' minds off the subject of Apes and onto more military concerns like gun-emplacements and concrete shelters.
But the Prime Minister insists that the survival of the Apes is vital for the survival of the Empire, with hilarious results. For as everyone knows, legend has it the Apes leave Gibraltar, so will the British. |
