Description
When Britain declared war on Germany the 3 September 1939, parliament immediately passed the National Service Act. The act made it mandatory for any male aged 18 to 41 to register for service. Naive 21-year-old Harry styles never thought his draft notice would come. He wouldn't dream of leaving his dearest Vera Cromwell, especially after the summer he had spent falling in love with her. Alas duty calls, and on the 9 October 1939 the day both Harry and Vera were dreading finally arrived. Whilst Harry was whisked off to war Vera was left wondering if he would ever come home, or if he would suffer the same fate his late father did years earlier in World War I. When Harry is thought to have been killed in action Vera is crushed. However when Harry awakes with a penetrating wound to his abdomen, abandoned by his unit in a ghost town in Germany he is determined to find his way home without being killed by enemy troops. To pass the time he begins writing letters to his dearest Vera reminiscing of the summer they shared. As time passes, Harry begins to lose hope that he will ever get back to the woman he loves and fears that when he finally returns home-if ever, she will no longer be his to love. 𝟸𝟽 𝙾𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚋𝚎𝚛 𝟷𝟿𝟹𝟿 𝙼𝚢 𝚍𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝚅𝚎𝚛𝚊, 𝙵𝚛𝚘𝚖 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚠𝚊𝚛 𝚌𝚊𝚖𝚎 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚍𝚜 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚖𝚢 𝚘𝚗𝚕𝚢 𝚑𝚘𝚙𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝙸 𝚠𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚎 𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚏𝚒𝚗𝚍 𝚖𝚢 𝚠𝚊𝚢 𝚋𝚊𝚌𝚔 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚢𝚘𝚞.
