A boy was born in Britain.

His mother will try to give him as normal a childhood as possible. She knows it will be difficult, but her determination has won admirers and her friends are determined to help out, as best they can. Few actually believe she can achieve this goal.

She is excited about his prospects but also worried. He may join the army. That's what many of his relatives did. He came from a family that served. She is pretty sure what school he will go to, again tradition will play a role.
