An Unfortunate Occurrence At Hounslow by COUN HAYDN EVANS based on The Strange Death of Private White by HARRY HOPKINS with ballads set and sung by JOHN BULL
John Frederick, a native of Yorkshire,
Brought up in the famed town of Leeds,
Had been a hosier and a soldier,
Though scarce in his prime as we read.
Tied hands and feet to a ladder
While the sound of the Cat reached afar,
Oh Britain, thy deeds make me shudder,
Directed by IAN COTTERELL
