Characters: Jack
Rating: G
Challenge: 327 – Anniversary
Notes: Spoilers for Small Worlds

It wasn't the anniversary he'd had planned.
He was going to stop by the grocers in town and pick out the most beautiful bunch of flowers he could find, and surprise her on the doorstep of her parents house.
Instead Germans had declared war on Poland, and Churchill had demanded men to fight for the Empire.
He would have to go and leave her behind, his beloved Estelle. He'd leave behind Torchwood as well, but that wouldn't worry him.
He'd gladly throw his life away in the trenches rather than make some of the sacrifices that Torchwood required of him.

Jack's lived through so much history and served in so many wars. He knows better than anyone how many sacrifices are made on the battlefield. He'll willingly sacrifice himself to keep another soldier alive.

Ouch.
Poor Jack. And Estelle.
