Synopsis
After the bitter-sweet evocation of the Great War and its aftermath in France, which was the subject of "Fields of Glory", and the account of the short stark life of the narrator's father in "Of Illustrious Men", we now see the focus directed on the young narrator himself as he becomes an adult.
