It appears Frankie had no skills outside of being a soldier "Peace left him a loser"
So without war he knew not what to do besides drink
Til one day he befriends some children and his life once again had meaning.
Unfortunately, other adults were suspicious of his friendship with these children, perhaps thinking he was a pedophile? "We've had blokes like you in the station before". I'm guessing they mean police station.
So he packs his bags and leaves....never to be seen again.
