Never was that more clearly illustarated than in the dawn rescue of Norman Kember and his fellow hostages in a bagdad slum yesterday
By word of mouth through the warren of streets, the message spread:
"The SAS are coming"
The terrified insurgents fled their beds in the few rags they were wearing,
Leaving three men they had tortured and terrified for 118 days to be released without a single shot fired in anger.
Reputation alone spared blood-shed
Long may our boys be the very besy
