shareWas the man she married a character in the film?
shareHe comes into her life quite a bit later - several years after the war ended. He wasn't someone she knew during the war (pretty much all the men she knew during the war died).
shareTowards the end of the film, when Vera attends the War Reparations rally, she meets George Catlin on the stage before she speaks.
shareI thought he was the the soldier she sees after the Roland's death to inquire about details of his death. They reunite later after the war is over when she speaks at the University.
shareHe was the soldier in the hospital with the arm sling in the middle of the movie that told her the truth about Roland's death.
shareThis was one of two questions I wanted to clarity. I thought he was the man who was in the hospital with Roland then I wasn't sure. She married in 1925 which seemed a while later.
shareYes. Although, it was fictionalized and not how it was in reality.
In the movie, the officer she visits after Roland's death for details and the man at the end who helps her at the impromptu pacifist debate-- is the same man, and her eventual husband.
In real life, her husband was an Oxford acquaintance. He admired her, but he didn't really register for her. He would watch her debate. He got back in touch with her after the publication of her first novel. They wrote back and forth for like a year, and then became engaged. If the war hadn't happened, he would have went to school with her brother Edward. His poor health prevented his going to the front until the war was nearly over.
