It was 1945 when Garnes decided to leave the hospital! He was petrified at the news that his whole house was bombed by the Germans. He couldn’t think any further. On the other hand, Sigbjørn tried a lot to find his friend but at last, he decided to deliver the ultimate news to his family. Cecelia and her children had no idea that Freddy was alive. But when Kvalvåg told them that news, they didn’t react at all! For the past 8 years, they didn’t see him and then a few years back before their house was bombed, they learned that he had died in the warship.
The children were growing up and Cecelia knew that she had to work hard to feed them all. She couldn’t fall weak! The family along with Sigbjørn decided to move on from this sudden shock. The series took a massive turn when we saw a romantic angle between Cecelia and her husband’s best friend! But Cecelia’s emotions were justified enough when you think of the fact that for all these years, she didn’t hear a word from Freddy. But then comes another twist in the tale, when Kvalvåg got the suspicious letter! Finally, in 1948, they found some leads on the whereabouts of Freddy.
Thankfully, Alfred Garnes was alive and surviving in Singapore but by that time, he was already half-dead inside. Kvalvåg did what he had to do, handed some money to Garnes, cleaned him up, and told him to go straight to Askøy, where his whole family was waiting for him. But even after returning home, Garnes couldn’t come back to his normal terms. The youngest of his children, Olav even failed to recognize Alfred as his father. The war had eaten him alive. He was so weak that Freddy couldn’t even get a mediocre job for himself. Not only that but even after serving so many years on the warships, he was stated to be a troublemaker. So many years lost and yet the horrors of wartime continued to scare him. To learn more about the series, head directly to Netflix, all three episodes of War Sailor are now available there.
