"Me and him have done more soldiering in two months than you ever dreamed of, sunshine."

Walter Oddy is a hard man with a hidden past. When there were anti-German riots in Hull at the outbreak of war, he led the mob. He and his wife Gladys were forced to move away to London, before he was ordered to the front.
