The Kinks
"Announcement"

"News has just reached us of a major victory for Mr. Black
and the People's Army.
The battle took place on the outskirts of a small village
somewhere in the northern zone.
Casualties on both sides are reported to have been very high indeed
and our on-the-spot correspondent describes the fighting
as some of the fiercest in living memory.
No quarter has been shown on either side."
