Good one Ewan

Assuming this is written from a perspective of around 20+ years ago, as references suggest World War One and it mentions the ex-soldier's centenary. Good in conveying a lot through a handful of vivid images.

Short, simple, sweet. And I like the sly joke line about flames and hot coals.

A damn good story

I like the way you build up a sense of intrigue to reveal something quite remarkable about the character; and the reaction of his daughter is a lovely touch that takes it out on a high note.

Well done Jane.

Unpredictable and a nice twist at the end.

I don't think it needs the intro at all; could work nicely by going straight into the story.
