| 15. through 23. are acceptable, only if the participle and so on is (a) set off from the main clause by commas, and (b) "having been" is implied. EX: He, (having been) hardened from the war, . . . . Note, participle, not -pal. |

BTW, the original was "The man hardened in the war was never a father to him.". E.g. "Uncle Danny was a father to him. The man (that was) hardened in the war was never a father to him. The boy never felt loved by that unemotional military monster." Thanks for the "participle" correction, I must have been asleep. |

The man (who was) hardened in the war was never a father to him. Quote:
