A for 'Orses
B for 'Am
C for Th Highlanders
D for ential
E for ?
F for vescence
G for ?
H for ?
I for Novello
J for ?
K for ?
L for Leather
M for ?

Q for the cinema
R for Askey (or was it some other Arthur?)
S for ?
T for two
U for me

I seem to have remembered half of them after probably 50 odd years since
I last heard it, and 40 since my stepfather died. Suggestions for the
rest seem to be here, from which I now seem to remember the additional
ones below:

G for police
H before beauty
J for oranges
P for a penny
X for breakfast
