Summary: Work of British Legion in rehabilitating ex-servicemen after the Second World War.
Description: A de-mobbed soldier, after recuperating in a British Legion sanatorium, is provided with a house in the countryside for himself and his wife, away from the pressures of town. He is shown around a Legion training centre, where other ex-servicemen are learning printing, engineering and animal husbandry. Bill Jones opts for wooden toymaking, receiving instruction from a First World War veteran. The film is cut short as commentary begins to describe other work undertaken by the Legion.
