John thought got a moment and took a drink from his cup before continueing. "Home for a couple of days before returning to the recruitment depot to train new recruits while I recuperate but I feel this may be my last enlistment" he ran his fingers around the handle on the cup. "Not because I want to leave but I feel with the injuries I sustained in India I may not be allowed to sign up again in 3 years" he sighed

"My plan now is to save some money and get back on my feet back in the UK. I've been lucky enough one of the lads has taught me to sew and I was regimental tailor for a bit in India so I'm hoping I can maybe start up a business doing that over here"
