Was one of the other small figurine friends that Jessica had collected a WWI soldier (teeny Tommy!) or was that a different book?
WWI British medical orderly Tommy Atkins is from the first book (and is in fact the reason I re-read it in 2015, double-checking the reference). By the time of the second book, he has died in the trenches and can be called forward only as a neat pile of empty clothes and a medical bag, which still freaks me out.
