On 11 November 1913, an elderly veteran of the Crimean War stood outside the entrance to the village hall in Farringham, Herefordshire where Joan Redfern and John Smith were attending a dance. Smith gave a donation to what the ex-soldier called the "Veterans of the Crimea", apparently a charity for by then aged survivors of the war. The veteran was later vapourised by Son of Mine.
