Boy, for all the editorial sturm und drang this article has been through, it sure is ''short''. --[[User:Gary D|Gary D]] 10:41, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

'''''The Winslow Boy''''' is an [[England|English]] [[play]] by [[Terence Rattigan]] based on an actual incident in the [[Edwardian]] era, which took place at the [[Royal Naval College]], [[Osborne House]]. The play was later made into a [[film]] in [[1946]].

Set against the strict codes of conduct and manners of the age The Winslow Boy is based on a father's fight to clear his son's name after the boy is expelled from Osborne Naval College for stealing a [[postal order]]. To clear the boy's name was imperative for the family's honour, had they not done so they would have been shunned by their peers and society. The boy's life would have been wrecked by the stain on his character.

Jossi and other followers, I know you do not like it that the article gives a description of the four techniques but they are documented, relevant facts and should hence go into the article according to [[NPOV]] guidelines. I really think that this is important information that will help outsiders to understand what this is all about. [[User:Andries|Andries]] 11:59, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
