The closing prologue states: "King and Cuthbertson never saw each other again. Sergeant Peter King was transferred to active service where he won the M.C. He was awarded the D.S.O. in Korea and finally promoted to Major. He retired to New Zealand and died in a motoring accident in 1962. Private Leslie Cuthbertson was transferred to the Durham Light Infantry and also survived the war. In 1967, he was made Deputy Lord Mayor of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. He died in 1995."
