Harry Lloyd was one of them. a worker at the London Docks making ships, he was exempt from call up, though he was a soldier between wars. Married to Mattie, and with one child, Lorna, perhaps Harry was saved for better things.
The Vanirs and the Lloyds cross paths and are linked to the assassination attempt of the War Minister, the man who is now Prime Minister.
