May and Jack first met on the London Underground; both were
students travelling to King's College from their homes in Forest
Gate at the very east end of London. Their friendship grew as they
discovered their many common interests; "poetry, social conditions,
human motives and the many topics that have concerned students over
the centuries," as May put it. They began writing letters to each
other as well as meeting regularly, and soon realized they had
fallen in love. However this was 1914, and Europe was on the brink
of war. Jack joined the Territorial Army and by the time war was
declared he was already training to become a 2nd Lieutenant, a
subaltern. He continued to write to May during his training, and
from the trenches of war-torn France, where he was injured by a
sniper, until he received fatal injuries while scouting in
no-man's-land. This book tells the story of this doomed love affair
through excerpts from May's memoirs, Jack's writings and sketches
and above all through Jack's letters to May.
