‘Dr Watson, is it?’

‘Yes, Herr Woeller. I’m glad you agreed to meet me. I’ve one of your chappies. He’s in a bad way; shrapnel everywhere. We did what we could but… well, we lost our thoracic surgeon…’

‘You would  give him back to me, your enemy?’

‘I was told that you were tops in your field. He needs your help now.’

‘Unilateral repatriation of prisoners is treason, and very risky, but I think we should do it.’

‘It’s ironic. In a war where medals are given for weapons innovation, we’d face firing-squads for trying to save one poor soldier.’

.oOOo.

There is no doubt that Watson is a man with great personal integrity. I only wish I could write him having to struggle with it more.
