James Farringdon has received a letter from the grandson of a man he once tried to defend at Court Martial during the First World War, and whose death he witnessed following the man's conviction for 'casting away arms'. He struggles with painful memories as he writes in reply. The piece deals with themes of forgotten memory, belief and the nature of forgiveness. | |||||
