The war to end all wars had been won but at a terrible cost, millions of men have been killed or wounded and now the victors had returned home to the country they had fought and died for only to find that that the jobs and the ‘Homes Fit For Hero's’ that they had been promised would be there’s once peace came, were a lie.
Britain and her Empire was bankrupt and the economy was broken, there were no rewards for those who had fought and bled, there were no jobs, there was only the prospect of unemployment, of starving families, of no roofs over their heads and of being put out onto the streets by the very people they had fought for.
But not all were concerned, there were those who saw this time of vulnerability and simmering unrest as a golden opportunity, a chance to destroy the old enemy, a chance for revolution, a chance for change. Spurred on by the success of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, and convinced that the time was ripe for a similar Communist Revolution in Britain, agitators had been at work in the major cities, the people were ready to rise, they were a powder keg waiting to explode at the smallest spark.
Large amounts of arms and ammunition had been smuggled into and distributed around the country, laid up and just waiting the word to be distributed and put in the hands of those same soldiers who had so recently returned back from the trenches.
It was beginning to appear that Britain was on the brink of being lost, and that the death and upheaval of revolution was inevitable; or was there the possibility of just one last chance that this catastrophe could be averted, if there was, then no matter what the risk, the chance had to be taken.
