Years later Charlotte visits her daughter, Elizabeth, in London, where she is training to be a nurse. Tragically, they are both killed in the blitz.
Before losing his life in the St Nazaire raid, their commando son Robert William fathers an illegitimate child, named James McVitie. He becomes a surgeon and bends the rules. Disaster follows.
