Armistice

A wonderful tale of friendship and love.

Only to find themselves separated by the horrors of war.

A well written and thoughtful tale.

Give it a read.

A very thoughtful and moving tale of WW1 and its demands.   Hard to think so many from all over the world fought for the “empire”.  Here is a tale of two lovers whose life is hit by the war.  
Well worth a read.

They say that 'War Is Hell,' but whoever said that has not actually been in the throes of battle. Because it is much worse than anyone can describe with a single word or phrase.

Here we find Davy and Jack, who against all convention have fallen in love with each other. Two young lads, a year apart in age where Davy, the eldest, must go off to fight a war, halfway around the world. Instead of telling the tale of Davy in that war, Mark spins the yarn of Jack. Jack who is waiting to hear about his love, Davy, and dreads the time when he turns of age and must go off to fight himself.

This is a story as old as time itself, regardless of gender. It is told with the fear and heartache of one who has stayed behind, waiting for those awful words of a telegram or the coming of age to enlist.

For those who went to war or those who waited for word of their loved ones, Mark gives us a glimpse of that horror. A glimpse of the emotions that can and do run through our minds. Well worth the read.
