Summary
Repatriated British prisoners arrive at Liverpool. Some come ashore on stretchers but those who are able to walk are led into reception centre by a pipe band. They receive pay and a double ration book, this enables them to get the things they have missed during their years of captivity. The prisoners talk about their experiences and end up singing "Bless ‘em All".
