“Captain Haydn Villiers of the Royal Field Artillery handed his identity document, leave pass and movement order to a military police corporal. The corporal briefly scanned the documents and returned them. Turning his head, he signalled to Lieutenant Colonel Lionel Chapman of the Manchester Regiment, the assistant provost marshal of Southampton Garrison. As Villiers walked towards the gangway, the colonel tapped him on the shoulder. ‘Captain Villiers?’ ‘Sir?’ Villiers turned to face Chapman and ...saluted. ‘Be so good as to come with me, please, Captain Villiers.’ ‘Is there a problem, Colonel?’ ‘You could say that, yes,’ replied Chapman with a smile. Villiers followed the APM, but failed to notice the two military police NCOs who fell in behind him. He wondered why he was being prevented from boarding, positive that he was not late in returning from leave. But then other thoughts crowded into his mind. Had something happened to one of his parents? Perhaps his father had had an accident in that high-powered car of his, or his mother had been killed in an air raid.MoreLessRead More Read Less
