Tommy and Delilah first met in the early months of the war - she had been pregnant, the father of her child running off. With the need to leave Small Heath, she found herself taking part. Though she wasn't on the front line, fighting alongside soldiers, she managed to grace the soldiers with her gentle smile, serving them drinks on the rare occasions that they'd find themselves away from the trenches.
Realising that he could not make it back to England, Tommy decides that getting to know somebody was not something on his mind - so, when taking a liking toward Delilah, he asked her for a favour.
A favour that meant she would take the watch that he wore - a family heirloom. He asked her to keep it safe and, if by some miracle he returned back to England, he would find her again.
