The Headmaster: The Second Part of To Serve Them all My Days

Part One Of Two Parts TO SERVE THEM ALL MY DAYS is R.F. Delderfield's epic study of life at an English boarding school between the two wars. It is a story related by David Powlett-Jones, the son of a Welsh miner, whose father and brother died in a pit accident, a socialist whose politics mellow as he ages. The victim of severe shell-shock after three nightmarish years of service in the battlefields of WW I, David is advised by a doctor to take up a teaching post at Bamfylde School in the rural south west of England. Not least, TO SERVE THEM ALL MY DAYS provides behind-the-scenes glimpses of the struggles for power that rage in an enclosed environment where personalities must inevitably clash.
