These stories describe people suffering the physical, mental and emotional effects of WW II and the WW II-era.

What Farrar Saw. This story could only come from the mind of Monty Python: a good part of England's citizens decide at the same time to take to the road, creating a two-hundred-mile traffic jam that can only be resolved by aerial bombardment. Being too far displaced in time and distance, I didn't know if this story was a metaphor for or against policies of the Government at the time or the herd-like mentality Hanley describes.

A Walk in the Wilderness. A man with a reconstructed face from an industrial accident tries to cope with being seen by the public.

Another World. A young lady impulsively decides to marry a one-armed fat drunk.

The Road. A sailor returns home after years away to discover his family was killed in an air raid.

Overall, it's worth the time to read these stories if for no other reason than to get a flavor of the thinking of the people who wrote in the immediate post-WW II era.
