The soldiers are back on leave, which means Cecil, George and Bert finally have some other men to talk to.

Further details

The soldiers have returned to Rittle-on-Sea on leave, which means our trio finally have some other men to talk to, though an excitable Cecil is having trouble reconnecting with his old chums.

George, on the other hand, regrets giving advice to Hugh, a soldier who wants to become a conscientious objector, and Bert's sticky-fingered antics come back to bite him when he meets Thomas.
