Watson regarded himself objectively in the mirror. The grey in his hair made him look distinguished, authoritative, and competent. His moustache, which used to make him look older, now only made him look old. Goodbye old friend; you have to go.

‘Apply for a commission?!?’ Colonel Bramley exclaimed. ‘You’ve been out of the Army for over thirty years!
‘But not out of medicine.’
‘You look well enough, but at your age...’
‘Are you saying the Royal Army Medical Corps has enough doctors?’
In light of the recent news from the front, the Colonel stood and shook Watson’s hand.
‘Sign here.’
