A woman aged 70 whose husband had died recently decides to go on holiday in the car to the battlefields of Northern France as she had done so many times before with Victor. She visits a restaurant and sits very close to an elderly Britsh couple. The man becomes very abusive towards his wife and she feels very embarrassed to be English. However, she discovers all is not as it seems when she talks to the man in the bar later after he has put his wife to bed. A little gem from 'Saturday Night and Sunday Morning' author, Alan Sillitoe.
