 It is not clear if Mrs Pike is a widow, as her late husband is never clearly mentioned, although Wilson admits that as a child, Frank called him "daddy", implying that any husband she had must have died when Frank was a baby.Wilson claims that "She's a widow and she has my ration book and I go round to her house sometimes for meals ... and that sort of thing" and she often asks him if he will be around to her house for his "usual", much to his embarrassment.Sometimes people remark on the similarity of Sgt Wilson and Private Pike (in particular their mannerisms in the episode "Boots, Boots, Boots").
