Dutchman, this photo is wrongly called it was never Carmelite, that came from Pennant who only visited Coventry for less than 48 hours. THIS IS MOUNT CARMEL Monastery in 1947. Nowhere in this building was the word CARMELITE mentioned. A search of this church old documents called the ancient residents as HOLY WARRIORS.

The nearest you can get to a hospital in ancient times in Coventry was the John Hales old peoples home on the corner of Hales St. and Bishopsgate, before it became a church and school, taught by the white friars of Coventry.

LEPROSY WAS A MIDDLE EAST DISEASE, IT HAD TO HAVE WARMTH. I found no evidence that it reached the Gaza and coastal strip. In ancient times it was a very frightening disease, even Cougars and Hyenas would not touch the meat, a myth of ENGLISH ancient times.

When I was found amongst the rubble of Barclays Bank and the dead and dying, shipping office of the Med, the huge oil tanks in the dockyard had already been blown up, scaring many thousands of rats. This was thought to have caused bubonic plague. Big, long tanks of DDT were placed down the streets people had to walk through and I was sent to a beautiful Italian hospital at the top of Mount Carmel. This beautiful bay, with its biblical history of Pilgrims really struck that you could believe that history was true.

I think I've seen footage of people being 'sprayed' with DDT during the war years. I believe it is largely banned these days?

There was a guy named SNOW four years before ZIG-ZAG, he also was a double agent, won a German iron cross, fed by M15 but ZIG-ZAG was Britain's most wanted man, top safe-cracker, the police hot on his tail he escaped to the channel isles, where the police had no way to touch him.

On VE day the SAS Reg't was abandoned, no need for them, but this was May and de-mob did not begin till June Some were sent to a special barracks in Aldershot to await de-mob, others to the parachute reg't as instructors. Here they formed a secret sect inside the Para's, no records, no names, no anything, completely secret. They brought with them new training, new ways, new initiatives. Nothing was known of them unless you were there. They did not interfere with normal training, mixed in well. I joined them, sent on many initiatives. One was to spend a week away from the army as if in a foreign country. I was awoke at five in the morning, not to wear denim training gear but normal dress uniform and to report to a special hut. Here we were stripped naked our things placed in boxes, only a handkerchief was allowed. We donned clean working-men's used old clothes told were to act as if in a foreign country. We were let loose six of us for a week, to report back in a week's time, given twenty-hours start. The army m-police, home guard, would be looking for us.

One week later I reported back fresh as a daisy, they knew I had been befriended. I had no relatives in the area but the rules did not ban this. Twice I was interrogated by special military police wanting to know how I could have made friends so fast but I kept shut, lips closed. Yes, there were a number of these initiative jaunts.
