Timothy, born on the fifth anniversary of the start of World War Two, represents the future, giving hope for those recently at war. The narrator fills in the history, but this is the transitional phase between war and peace, with war effectively absent. Instead it is conjured up by news bulletins and images of its impact on the home front. A farmer, a miner, a train driver and a wounded pilot represent the British people, playing their part. All are fighting for Timothy, for his future.
