I'll Fight My Corner
Sergeant Thomas Barrow returns to Downton, a hand crippled, not by the enemy's bullet, but by his misshapen selfishness and supreme cowardice. Thomas didn't want to think about the truth, he preferred the hero image that had been attributed to him by no one but himself, since no one really cared. Even though he knew that if it had really been an accidental injury, no one would applaud him or help him as they would any other injured combatant in their country's service. Because, after all, he was Thomas Barrow. Isolated within his new position at Downton, Thomas holds to his simple new way of acting, trying to be the winner he wanted to be, trying to be useful as he moved through the corridors of the hospital wing, trying to be pleasant; something unusual for him. Maybe it was the happiness of having returned to Downton, of finally getting out of the purgatory men called war, maybe it was age, maybe it was his recent promotion, he couldn't say. Unfortunately, Lieutenant Edward Courtenay was not in a favorable position to admire how war could transform people, make them more sensitive, and more united, for example, when all the popular came together to build the makeshift hospital at Downton where Lieutenant Courtenay now lay on a stretcher, his eyes swollen and blindfolded, his skin burning from the mustard gas.
