'In the last war Group Captain Leonard Cheshire became a legend.  That he won a Victoria Cross was almost an inevitable outcome.  but since the war his work on behalf of suffering humanity has made him an international figure, loved with reverence and humility.  The Cheshire Homes are known throughout the world, but what are they?  And how did they come into being?  Above all, what made Leonard Cheshire turn from war to serve his fellows?'
