The Crimson Field: Six burning questions we all want answers to
When is season two on? (Picture: BBC)
As brilliant and beautiful as The Crimson Field has been, I’m not the only one pondering some unanswered questions…

1. Does Kitty know there’s a war on?

In one of my favourite scenes from the series Kitty heads to the beach to unwind, undress and go for a dip.

Despite the fact there are soldiers all around her desperate for medical attention. But not only is she larking about at the seaside, Captain Gillan turned up as well.

Honestly guys, there’s a war on! Aren’t there blood soaked sheets to be burnt or toes to be removed? More to the point does no one notice they’ve absconded, that’s a court martial offence isn’t it?

2. Why is Rosalie so afraid of willies?

I mean, they’re not pretty granted, but the young nurse nearly throws up every time one is even mentioned let alone produced.

As a trained nurse she should be trained in bed baths and the human body yet her fear of the male appendage hinted at something else… but who knows what?

3. Has Flora always been so annoying?

All right by the end of the series she had somewhat redeemed herself into a loveable impish type character, but her insistence on chattering, disobeying rules and generally sticking her nose in was annoying.

Hopefully she and Private Charlie Dawlish will eventually be reunited, but how long could he put up with her for?

4. What exactly was the nature of Kitty’s married life?

On the subject of relationships, one wonders what the story is behind Vincent Elliott and Kitty. We can only speculate there was spousal abuse of some kind given Vincent’s locking her into a hotel room with a malicious look in his sharky eyes.

Is this what led to her affair, and who was it with? Where are they now? There are too many questions on this one.

5. What’s the history behind Quayle and Carter?

One would like to imagine a Birds of a Feather style photo-montage for the shared history of these two only ever hinted at, but they never really seemed to get along that well.

Perhaps it was this spurned friendship that made Sister Quayle such a cow, (no offence cows) going out of her way to cause others pain.
