“This is a really super story—I shold know, I wrote it. My name is George, and I’m Ted’s Ted is is centre-forward of the Junior XI at King’s School in Otterbury and a first class chap. He’s the leader of our company, and the story began with our battle against Toppy’s company. We were so worked up in the excitement of victory that Nick Yates kicked a football through the big window of the classroom next to the Headmaster’s study.
“Poor old Nick! When the Head said he’d have to pay for it he looked like a puppy with he’d no hope of raising £4 14s. 6d. in a week than of going to the moon. So we signed a Peace with Toppy’s company and planned Operation Glazier to get the money for Nick. And if you want to know how it worked, and what happened after it was over, you'd better get cracking on Chapter 1.”
