Algy was a real tearer – a ball-tearer even…uh, excuse me… Steve…Can you move your head a bit – you’re looking the wrong way…And, sweetie, can you look a bit more distressed.

Right – now…Hold that pose…….The Algerian War or the Guerre d’Algerie went from 1954 to 1962 and the OAS (many of them French Legionnaires) feature in that wonderful book The Day of the Jackal by Frederick Forsythe because they wish to assassinate Charles De Gaulle – whom they considered a traitor.
