For the dinner party, we can invite a colonel who will come to inspect the idea of using Oakhaven for rest and recuperation for troops. It doesn't have medical facilities or rehab. units but it might work for re-establishing family ties. That will put pressure on the sergeant and his wife. If they can show the idea would work, they might be left in charge. The ladies plan a high class dinner but Colonel Cunninghame intervenes and insist the food is what they would provide for the troops. What they will make is soup, steak pie and rice pudding. Mrs Boniface finds it abhorrent but Cunninghame is adamant.
