[He sighs to himself, but it's all for show. It's not his fault nobody is there to witness it. He actually does like to explain himself.]
1922, only four years after the war ended. You have the self possessed conversational skills of a man, and not a particularly young man. Perhaps thirty to thirty five. This means you served. All men of the right age served, unless too sick or a contentious objector, who went to prison. With a surname like Solomons, you're not a Quaker. It's statistically unlikely you were too sick to fight. Possible, but unlikely. You're also friends with John, he tends to gravitate towards fellow military men. Some sort of bonding experience.
Your syntax is British even if the settings on the tablet convert your spelling to American. I can narrow that further to England, the South, most likely in one of the districts of London, 'mate'.
A man with a legitimate profession is more trusting, you immediately resorted to distraction, avoidance, and bargaining. Necessary traits for a man working on the wrong side of the law.

Jewish, London, 1922, underworld. Elementary, really.
