One man. One love. One war. He must leave her to fight. Duty calls.
After three years' service in the British Army, Private Samuel
Ogden travels to France at the outbreak of World War I in 1914.
Fiancee Alice is left in the village, marriage on hold. But
Havercake Lad is not a love story. It is a gritty tale of daily
life as a rifleman in frontline fighting. Based on official
military records, this novel plots many of the war's key
characters, events and battles. Samuel Ogden is fiction. But the
heroic activities of Havercake Lads, men of the Duke of
Wellington's Regiment, 2nd Battalion, are based firmly on fact.
Steve Ellis explores the trauma of war, the psychology of
soldier-killing and the personal consequences of being constantly
surrounded by casualties and corpses.
