Plot
The first in the trilogy is set in Salford during World War I, telling the stories of local war heroes. The Nelson Pals film is the second in the Pals for Life trilogy; it outlines the scouts that were sent to war. It follows fifteen-year-old scout Archie (played by Jack Meakin) who is the son of Army Sergeant Henry (played by Mark Brent). While his mother disagrees, as the son of an army sergeant he has specific duties to live up to. He meets field nurse Grace (played by Samantha Edwards) where he finds comfort and friendship; throughout the film both Archie and Grace help each other both physically and mentally.
