CROONAERT Posted 7 September , 2016 Share Posted 7 September , 2016 There is a second part (3rd really... part 2 covers the Russian Civil war) ... following Charley's escapades in the Russian Civil War, a couple of episodes deal with the inter-war period with Charley obtaining a council house, gaining a trade as a mechanic, being unemployed during the depression years and meeting up with 'Old Bill' Tozer again in 1933 (working as a doorman for the new 'King Kong' movie)... all with the background of the rise of Hitler. WW2 then breaks out and Charley's son Len (by now a 2/Lt in the RE) is posted as missing so Charley enlists in order to find him (a background story covers the home-front with his brother in law, 'Oily' , becoming embroiled in the Black Market and his wife being arrested... Bill Tozer (by now a Home Guard RSM) saves the day of course). Many characters and events during the battle of France are in these episodes (Charley hunting a sniper, fighting a German head-case tankie called 'Attila the Hun', witnessing the La Paradis massacre, taking part in a '2 man and 1 woman' stand against overwhelming odds, being in a train wreck, fighting with the French colonials, saving an RAF pilot on the beaches of Dunkirk before finally finding Len and being evacuated where , after 'fighting his last battle' in his last war, Charley's story ends. Slightly different in style to the WW1 story (I don't think, off memory, that Pat Mills was the writer), but absolutely superb anyway (and I'm lucky enough to have collected all the episodes together when they were first published!)

There're definitely no more episodes after the Dunkirk evacuation. The final clip of the story is Charley sat on an evacuation boat with his son Len asleep next to him (there's your answer ,Nigel!) as he reminisces and thinks back to a time 'long ago' when he first enlisted...and then, full circle, the story begins again. A sort of endless loop if you read through the whole story. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
