CoDEventPS3N Daily Record - Special Report


We all know how brave our lads were during the big one, how bravely they fought for King & Country, or just Country, or just because if they didn't they would have been shot! The stories of the brave men during that time has been told and re-told in various mediums, in film, in books, on the radio, and even on the tellybox. We have a debt to these brave souls for without them our freedom would be lost, in return their youth was lost in the horrors that is glorified as war. Oh yes dear reader these brave men to a man has been through more than you or I could imagine if we sat and thought for a decade. Once a year these guardians of liberty are paraded out in the cold of a November day so we can pay our small thanks, but one day each 365 isn't much for the service they have performed.

So what happened to these brave souls, where did their stories take them after the end of the war, our investigative team went to great lenghts to find out, this is not their story but the story of our lost generation of warriors.



fungusking – Left the army in 1952 never got used to not ordering people about & ended up as a doorman at the local Ritzy - Married Glenda & had 3 kids but left her in 1960 to shack up with the usher Mable - sadly that never worked out either and she walked out on him less than two years later, to live with a would be hippy tribe in Cumbria. He never got over her.

blacksalmon – Demobbed in 1946, salmon briefly tried to erect a singing career, and actually cut one record. It never charted and sold only 23 copies, 19 of these were found in salmons attic after he moved house in 2002. Three others are believed to be in Pes_stars collection. No-one knows where the other one is, do they fungus! He is still around the local club scene singing for beer money and cleaning tables for tips.

Smicks – From a pacifist and jolly happy go lucky chap to cold hearted life taker. Smicks never fully got to grips with civilian life after the army. This led to a series of more and more violent crimes. He has been on Interpols most wanted list for many years, he was an electronics expert & has been named in a least 12 house fires!!

Perksta –
The jovial Yorkshire lad got out of the army in 1946 and headed straight for his local, three years later he immerged and started to sort himself out. He was on the board of directors at his beloved Leeds United Football Club during their glory years of the 60's & 70's but retired in 1975 claiming that he wanted a quieter life, he is still a season ticket holder, and the price is still the same as in 1975!!!!


Deaf_Raiders – After going AWOL in 1945 Deaf spent many years hiding out from the authorities. He took many cash in hand jobs and moved around first Scotland then England, finally settling in Wales working as a sheep farmer. The army caught up with him in 2003 and he is currently spending 12 years in hard labour.

Hammergc – After coming out of the army in 1947 hammer started on a round the world trip, his trip stalled at East Ham where he vowed to remain until West Ham won a trophy. In 1975 he resumed his epic journey but without money or means of support this was proving somewhat troublesome and he was last heard of walking around the Alps.

Sensikid – Sensi signed up for another tour of duty and was finally released from the army in 1961 he had made the rank of Drill Instructor, but had to retire after the incident with a raw recruit, a bayonet & the company mascot 'Bessie' the goat. He married a Russian gymnast after the 1948 Olympic Games, they ended up having to build a special house to hold her 52 stone body.

Tailz – Joining the circus after demob, tailz had a highly successful career with his high wire act, with the finale being him diving from the high wire, changing clothes on the way down & ending up landing on a bean-bag. He had broken more bones than Evil Kernvel, and has one foot facing the wrong way after doctors set his leg wrong.

Shamrock_Stu - Stu left the army with honours, he then went on to become a demolition expert with a South African Mining company, sadly he got carried away and ended up blowing the whole town to kingdom come. Spent many years looking for a woman to love called Betty, he's still looking.

Spurs_Craig - After hitting civvy street again, Craig started his own DIY business which never really did more than survive, some say it was his manner with customers. He met & married Enid in 1956 and they settled down in North London and raised 9 kids, 4 boys and 4 girls!!. The eldest two also went on to join the army, but his youngest is still living at home aged 45 much to Craig's disappointment.

Kell67 - During an operation deep into the Japanese jungle Kell went missing, the platoon searched for him for days but no sign was found, except for two choccy bar wrappers. Always known for his sneaking & hiding skills it is thought that he went to ground & didn't believe the shouts from his unit. The island was combed in 1958 but still nothing was found. The naives have at times lost food and equipment from outside their huts but no-one has ever seen this mysterious thief. The locals have named him the 'Opuh lon due arhwacka' translated to mean 'human shadow that lives at night'.

Pes_star - Leaving the army at the first opportunity Star tried his hand at modelling, but was told he was too skinny and didn't really have the required style to pull it off, much to his horror. Star had a series of short relationships but lost his heart to Marge Diddleworth and asked her to marry him, she refused and star never fully recovered and said that he was finished with women. He ended up working in Regents park zoo looking after the llamas!!!

Kayakillafc - Like the rest of the Americans killa was late getting in on the act, but once he had tasted warfare there was no stopping him. He fought in Korea, and got two purple hearts, a military cross and a nasty rash in a dodgy area! He fought in Vietnam & got 3 purple hearts, the Medal of Honor (cause they can't spell!) and a case of STD, this led to the loss of his confidence. He was on the way to Kuwait when he tripped over his medals and broke his ankle, he's had a desk job in the army since.

Lickmyboots - Lick defected to the Russians in 1955, after spending 5 years in the diplomatic service. Apparently he took with him the secret of making perfect Southern Fried Chicken, it never really caught on in Moscow. He lived well until the break up of the Soviet Union when he backed Ukrainian rebels in a failed attempted at a coup. Since then he has lived quietly in a St Petersburg suburb with two great Danes, Olga & Ingrid!

Fattiereturns - Somewhat mysteriously Fattie disappeared from sight and was later reported to be living in an area of Romania. He claimed that he was working on stuff "Vastly more important than anything Darwin had done and critical in matters of life & death." It appears that locals didn't always get on with our friend Fattie & he was, so the story goes, run out of several towns by them.

VillaAlex - Sick of his life in England Alex decided to chuck it all in so in 1954 he packed up and headed down under. He changed his name and became a flying vet, unable to complete the arduous tests to become a fully fledged Doctor. He was cleared of all charges in respect of the Andrews v Alex sheep napping case, although these still hangs over his head and tarnishes his reputation. He married a local lass and had 3 daughters, Baa, Baa & blacksheep, they don't keep in contact with him!

Ash-e - Ash was dismissed from the army in 1949, two years before his term was up, for striking a superior officer. Whom he claimed wasn't superior to a slug. He briefly raised a small force to liberate Yorkshire, but that failed in 'The Night of the Red Pudding' and he would have spent some hard jail time except he did a deal with the authorities. His current where-abouts & name are classified under the Official Secrets act of 1954.

Ravorion - Ravs' tale after leaving the army isn't a happy one, he grew a chronic fear of the dark and walked about with half a dozen torches, even during the summer. He would never willingly step into someone's shadow and would avoid tunnels by travelling up to 50 miles out of his way. Rav was incarcerated into a home for the mentally unstable in 1970 when he stole a beacon from Heathrow Airport, he is still there and still under treatment, doctors do say that there is light at the end of the tunnel!!!

Elsupremo-NickF - Nick rose up the ranks after the war and was made an officer in the field, by 1962 he was a Major and still on active duty. He preferred to work alone and although denying it many think it was his joint venture with Corporal Rockman that made him shun the company of others. Nick has had only one days leave in his entire career, and that was the 1st of August, 1966, but by 00:05 the next day he was back in the field.

manfromtherock - Or "Rocky" as he was affectiontely known to his fellow troops was discharged from the unit in 1947 aged 84, a military record that still stands to this day. Never really settled in one place after that, preferring to lead a nomadic life moving from town to town and constantly on the run from the German CSA. Last seen roaming the barren sand dunes of Egypt with a Kodak disposable camera.
