The Lamplighter and the Soldier’s Despair
A soldier narrator recalls a grim night in barracks as an offer of escape through self harm looms. Helmsdorf plans a pistol attempt, but fails as pensioner Williams lights the lamps and the man delays, leading to a life changing revelation. Letters from father and mother reveal forgiveness and care, but Helmsdorf’s suicide yields a felon’s grave verdict.
