Hi ed002.

Here's the gist of my book. It's it's called 'Do not weep war is kind' the title is from the Stephend Crane poem of the same name. It's set in London in 1914 just before the outbreak of WWI.

The main characters are Harry Crosby who works in a book publishers and is in love with Elsie. The other main character is William, Harry's best friend. Who works at the docks with his dad and is eagerror to join up and fight!

Elsie, who is William's sister asks Harry to Join up and to make sure her brother comes home safe.

So the story revolves around Harry and William joining up the first battle together and many more that hopefully won't be their last together.

{Ed002's Note - Very interesting Dan. I recall Stephend Crane from my High School English Literature class but all these years later I don't recall the detail. Let us all know how you get along with it please. The very best of luck and it is great to see folks still writing.}

My spelling isn't that bad, trust me! I was sitting in the garden enjoying a glass of wine after our victory, when I pushed my chair back to far and slipped of the decking and fell into the pond with my phone!

Phone is now all over the place. Just hope it isn't f@! @d!

Anyways thanks for the reply ed002 and Kate Bush. Hopefully at the end of the day there's a decent story to read?!

{Ed002's Note - You are welcome.}
