About the Cover

The envelope images on the cover are taken from my personal collection and they inspired this story. I did some Photoshop manipulation to alter the soldier's name, initials and regimental number. He was posted as missing, but after evading for a while, he was captured and spent the remainder of the war as a prisoner. My story paints what might have happened had his evasion been successful.
Introduction and Content Warning
Although this is a piece of fiction, most of the geography and history in it are real. Many of the details and adventures in the Schwarzwald are based on my experiences there half a century later while serving with NATO in the 1960s. I began my research on this series of novels while sharing drinks with Ypres veterans in the Officers Mess of the British Columbia Regiment shortly after I retired in 1981.
This story contains scenes of a young woman's awakening sexuality as she meets a young man who has not yet realised the trauma from his sexual abuse as an adolescent. There are depictions of physical and sexual intimacy that are necessary for the development of both the characters and plot.
