Finlay Smith

 Biographical information



Finlay Smith is a soldier, living in Walmington-on Sea.

Life Before the Platoon
Finlay spent most of his childhood in Liverpool, and, since his parents had no time for their children, he was left taking care of Lacey, with some help from their neighbour Anette. After Anette's tragic death, when Finlay was only 16, Finlay became a tearaway teen, and didn't care about anything. He ended up having to move to Walmington, which he hated at the start, but, he started to realize that Anette would want him to be happy, and not dwell on the past. He then starts working in a pub.

Eventually, Finlay gets called up, but a year later, comes back, having broken both wrists. That's when he met Wilson and Mavis, along with Walker, who he quickly became mates with. and very soon after, he finds out everything that happened while he was gone, Lacey being in the Home Guard, and Lacey being in a relationship. He warns Pike not to hurt his sister, but then accepts Lacey's decisions. He sort of joins the Home Guard, but mainly to help with tactics.

In the Platoon
Once Finlay was sort of in the platoon, he ended up closer to Wilson and Mavis. who almost became some sort of second family to him. And, soon after, Lacey's friend Hazel returned to Walmington, having been gone for some time, and Finlay ends up dating her.

Months later, Finlay realizes he'll be back in the army soon, and marries Hazel. They have a son, and name him Will.
