A Time To Remember
It's late 1930 when the world was on the brink of war.
Life at the Bryce home is happy and playful as Peter gets on with his farming and looks forward to taking Jane to meet up with friends at the local pub, discussing whether or not to go to the movies. Then an announcement We are at War .
Peter, a young man filled with dreams of adventure, enlists alongside his friends, believing war
to be a noble cause. His father, a staunch patriot, encourages him to serve, while his pregnant
wife begs him to stay, fearing the worst. But Peter, eager to prove himself, marches off to
battle never realizing the true cost of his decision.
Shipped off to England then deployed to Africa, Peter quickly learns that war is not the glorious
journey he imagined. He clings to the thought of home, unaware that he will never see his child s
face. When the inevitable news arrives, his family is shattered. His wife, his grieving mother, and
his once-proud father gather to mourn as Peter';s flag-draped coffin returns home. As The Last
Post echoes through the air, they are left to reckon with the brutal truth: war does not just claim
soldiers; it leaves behind wounds that never heal.
A powerful and heartbreaking drama, Time to Remember is a story of love, loss, and the heavy
price of war not just war of the past but of the present and future a reminder that not all battles
are fought on the front lines.
