A Montreal Family Herald critique notes two striking cases of distinguished veterans overlooked after WWI. Sir Douglas Haig highlights a demobilised officer with V.C. D.S.C. and M.C. wandering London seeking work, while Arthur Richings returns to Cardiff police as an ordinary constable after retiring as lieutenant colonel.
