Something to do with the 1st or end world war I think. Maybe espionage or something.. cant remember tbh..

In reflection it could be something to do with that old rich bloke who had an invisible suit.. that made the townsfolk laugh at him on his horse with his fat belly and small penis, depicted in the book. But I think it's to do with spys in the war.
