Part One This book is based on the true story of Jesse Fredrick
Warren a 24 year old French Polisher by trade who was living in
Bethnal Green, East London with his wife Amelia and their two young
daughters Elizabeth and Beatrice. The start of the Great War in
1914 brought with it an end to regular employment and the beginning
of great hardships for Jesse and his young family. By the February
of 1915 they were destitute and starving. There was no money for
food, gas or coal. Like so many other young men who found
themselves in the same situation, there was only one option open to
him: without telling his wife he signed on and volunteered for
Kitchener's Army. It was not for King and Country that he joined up
but to put food on the table for his wife and children. For this he
was taken to France where he walked through the gates of hell. Part
Two This is the continuing story of Jesse and Amelia Warren now
living in Walthamstow, East London from the end of the Great War
which against all odds he survived, until their deaths many years
later...but firstly it takes the reader back to the meeting of a
young couple who were to survive many hardships including two World
Wars. It tells of their family, the good times they shared together
and the bad times but also it tells of many hilarious moments that
will certainly make the reader smile.
