 | In Memorium | In 1914, a schoolboy love affair between Ellwood and Gaunt is observed by some of the people around them but never acknowledged (homosexuality is still illegal). Their lives become more complex still as the boys volunteer to go and join the army on the Western Front. Death and destruction, bravery, shell-shock, capture, escape, mutilation and more death ensue of course, can their love survive the upheaval? Categories: non-speculative, historical |

Poetry, the Classics, Greek, Latin and Shakespeare. Not much help against German shells. Civilisation, culture, xenophobia, class warfare, loyalty, love, philosophy - this book covers it all. Really good.
