Exmoor Uniform

On the train is a group of incredibly young-looking soldiers, probably on their way home for the first well-earned leave, still in smart but oversized uniforms. They still have teenage acne and I’m surprised they have managed to legally buy lager in the train buffet. They’re high spirited, but one of them – a girl – eventually quietens and breaks away from the laddishness and rummages in her kit bag at some length. Eventually she draws out a little bag of brand new Chanel cosmetics and spends the rest of the journey silently engaged in her make-up.
