shortly after alby and clarence were deployed, ada stopped by her family's home for a visit. florence could see something was troubling her youngest daughter. it only took a simple question and it alll came crumbling down.
ada burst into tears, revealing she was pregnant again. she didn't feel prepared to care for one child on her own, much less two. florence didn't even hesitate to remind her that her old room had been recently vacated by estee and she would be happy to help with eleanor.
it was like a weight was lifted off ada's shoulders. her mother had raised four children and eleanor already adored her. and she would also feel useful, helping her mother and brother at the pub or at home when she could. this might be temporary, but for now, it was perfect for them.

with all the men away at war, estee found herself wanting to put her part into the war effort. she only feared for her mother, who was starting to show her age. florence assured her, she could more than take care of herself. cecil was to finish his schooling soon and would be around to help her with the house and the pub.
florence could see her eldest had yearned to leave the house much sooner, but hadn't out of fear for her. it was time for her darling estee to spread her wings in a new city.

the inevitable day arrived before any of the garland's knew it. alby was to leave for his deployment to france. florence couldn't bare to see off her eldest son, not knowing when he'd return. it could be months or years or maybe even... she couldn't even let herself think of the possibility of losing her son.
cecil, however, was jealous to see his brother off on his new adventure. they had never left henford their entire lives. it was all they knew and he longed to follow his brother into uncharted grounds, despite the danger. now he could only wait and count down the days until he was allowed to enlist himself.
in the harris household, ada also had to see her husband off to war. she was devastated their young family was already being forced apart. it was just her and her little eleanor now.

since learning about the war, alby had only been anticipating one thing. on that cold muddy fall morning his heart stopped in his chest when he read his name printed on the envelope.

despite alby returning home from the pub so late, he found cecil still working on some homework. cecil might not have been at good at school as estee and alby, but he was grateful to have siblings who were so happy to help him.
meanwhile, alby admired his younger brother's tenacity to learn and get better at anything he set his mind to. being the oldest, most of alby's life had been decided for him and he went along for it. cecil though, he knew, was meant for far greater.

as alby finished his evening at the pub, he picked up a copy of that day's paper. before he even had the chance to rest after a night of work, he was reawoken when he read the front page headline.
