Random harvest

A shell-shocked veteran suffers from amnesia after World War 1. As he carries on with his life, he tries to remember his past.

First sentence: ON THE morning of the eleventh of November, 1937, precisely at eleven o'clock, some well-meaning busy-body consulted his watch and loudly announced the hour, with the result that all of us in the dining car felt constrained to put aside drinks and newspaper and spend the two minutes' silence in rather embarrassed stares at one another or out of the window.
