On his wedding day Brian is captured by the Germans. He never
thought that the Second World War would upset his plans and change
his life forever. Brian and Margery are engaged in 1939, just
before Brian is sent to France. Army life stimulates his sense of
adventure and he eagerly awaits his first leave in May 1940 when he
will marry Margery. She starts work as a volunteer nurse and, as
young men are called up, she misses the pre-war parties. She issues
invitations, plans the reception and visits the Vicar about their
wedding. When Hitler invades, all leave is cancelled, and Brian is
deployed to hold Dunkirk while Margery nurses those who return from
France. After a hard fought battle, Brian is captured, putting his
life and love in jeopardy. He doesn't know whether he will survive
nor whether Margery's love will endure. He suffers psychological
abuse, casual brutality and fifteen months in shackles while the
war grinds on for five long years. On His First Leave is a
remarkable story of love, loss and separation during the Second
World War.
