a lost verb?
The king and queen many several tours of Britain's bombed cities during the Second World War.
>>I've read this sentence on the online cyclopedia, I just think it's lack of a verb indeed...
>>do you think so?
--------------------------------------------------------
another one question:
I'm glad we've been bombed. It makes me feel I can look the East End in the face.
>>what does here I can look the East End in the face mean?
>>in the face -->the war will be end soon?

Yes, the first sentence needs a verb. The verb "made" would work.
The second sounds like one of the Royal family commenting on the bombing of a palace. Evidently, the bombing was worse in other places. This allowed the King/Queen to share in the misery.
