Violet Furlonger was brought up in the provincial English town of Haslemere, in Surrey. She was born in 1893 and when she was 15, Violet began her dressmaking apprenticeship. In 1914 her country was catapulted into a World War, and her life changed forever. Most of the young men that she knew joined up and one by one, met their fate in the trenches. In 1916 nearby Bramshott Common was converted into a camp for thousands of newly arriving Canadian soldiers. This true tale records Violet's marriage to Lieutenant Frank Sherburn-Hall, and of their life together in the Saskatchewan prairie town of Moose Jaw.
