Throughout his life, Tommo has been bullied, not only by other kids at school but also by adults, including his army officers. Consequently, Tommo has realized early in his life that he only has himself and Charlie to rely on.
He originally enlisted in the army because an elderly woman in the village called him a coward, but Tommo proves himself to be a good and brave soldier. It appears that he has some kind of shell shock or PTSD as he is beginning to relive the scenes of death in the trenches even when he is not actually there. When he is shot in the trench, he feels as if he were dying and is actually relieved. Saving Tommo leads Charlie to disobey an order and ultimately results in a death sentence for desertion.
After he returns home, Tommo takes Charlie's place as a father to his child and as a partner to Molly—ironically, the girl he has loved since his childhood. Charlie is Tommo's older brother and protector.
As a child, he looked out for his brother; as a soldier, he has done the same, but unfortunately, he is being to be executed by firing squad for standing up against a dangerous order. Charlie has a strong instinct to protect and preserve life, whether by hiding Bertha the dog from the Colonel or by saving Captain Wilkes' life.
Charlie is tough but sensitive and loyal to his brother, although he is aware that having a relationship with Molly, whom Tommo loves, will hurt him, hence the need for secrecy. Charlie is a good, courageous young man who deserves much better than the fate handed down to him; despite being considered a coward due to his crime of desertion, Charlie is, in fact, incredibly brave. Molly is the novel's version of the girl next door.
She and the Peaceful boys have grown up together; she is a bit of a tomboy and does all the things that they do. Molly is thrown out of the house by her strict, harsh parents when she tells them she is pregnant; as a result, she is forced to grow up even more quickly.
She eventually marries Charlie and has his child. Molly asks Tommo to take care of Charlie when they go to France because she knows that, despite the fact that Tommo is younger, he is also more careful and less likely to put himself in danger.
Peaceful is the mother of the three Peaceful sons and fulfills the duties of this very demanding job very well. With no time to mourn her husband's accidental death due to fear of losing their cottage, she is forced to take a job that keeps her away from her children for the majority of the day. She is unaware of Grandma Wolf's cruelty, and when she learns that physical punishment used on her children, she speaks out on their behalf.
She takes in Molly after she is rejected by her own parents and becomes a surrogate mother to her as well. Peaceful is also shown to be remarkably clever, such as when she hands the Colonel a bunch of money after Charlie steals his dog, Bertha. Big Joe is chronologically the oldest of the Peaceful brothers, but he has the mind of a child due to the case of meningitis he suffered as an infant.
