John Robson's Injury [Robson Room]
John Robson's Injury [Robson Room]

⁠

When the two soldiers, William Warrener and his pal come face to face with protestor John Robson. The two soldiers take position of pointing bayonets out. In a flash John feels terrible pain in his left shoulder, as he catches from the corner of his eye, a rock bouncing off exactly where the pain is coming from. In reaction, he lifts the pitchfork in his right hand to touch his own left shoulder and accidentally stabs the soldier with the pointy end of the pitchfork. It catches William in the thigh and he yelps.

⁠

They both leave the marketplace and find a doctor who helps patch them up as they sit beside each other still unsure how they should behave. They are theoretically on opposing sides, although neither really wishes to be heading to France to fight the war. John turns to William and says, “Don't’ think either of us are going to the war at this rate. “
