The gentle ministry of Warrant Officers in red banded caps and the droning of senior men in lecture halls. The mystery of women in revealed in Aldershot Town, then quickly a distant memory, replaced by the shelling and dirt of Cologne. Now Between wars, a hollow man, half stirred by the wondering of the demob from france, overwhelmed by new faces and whispers of china. Deciding to take a leave of abscence, a luxry afforded to some junior officers during demobilization, his whims have taken him as far from embattled europe as his back pay can take him. To the colonies, a place away from misery.
Away from madness...
