    Considering the panic over the Telegraph crosswords during May 1944, I'm amazed that this was not printed on self destructing paper!!!! ....... It almost gives it All away!

    Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
    Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
    Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
    Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
    We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
    But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
