Perhaps in 1930 there was still a bit of a shortage of men, after WW1.

He took a deep breath.
“Ladies and gentlemen.”
Two dozen Brit faces fixed on him. Crooked teeth, ragged hair, dark eyes.
“I...”
Could he go through with this?
“Used to work at that Camp.”
He studied the eyes. #Curious, polite; expecting an explanation.
