George hated working indoors, he wanted to be outside, running through the fields, walking in the woods, enjoying Nature.
With the War raging in the east, George really wanted to join the army, and be a Drummer Boy, it didn't take long for his father to discourage such thoughts. So in the Boot Shop, George would stay.
