The Boy was one of two lads who visited their school-friend Mark Hillkirk in hospital when he was being treated for burns sustained in an accident at the communal bonfire in November 1973. They were joined by Albert Tatlock, who used the toy tanks the boys were playing with to launch into a discussion of the First World War, as it was during that conflict that tanks were first used. The boys were interested in what Albert had to say and one of them asked how the war started, to which a visibly unsure Albert replied arguments over land and money.
