Description: In 1919, Robert Hunter, a young boy growing up in London's East End, is eagerly awaiting the return of his father from the war. Next door, Ruth Cooper's family are also preparing to welcome her dad, whose ship was lost in Jutland. But the youngsters are aware too, of the many physical and mental scars borne by the returning heroes. Alf Hunter, who saw action in the trenches, is a changed man. Over the next few years he suffers many setbacks and losses before ultimately finding the fulfilment and happiness denied him - and so many others - by 'the war to end all wars'.--From back cover.
