Two Lives
4th November, 2020
The paths of two men, on different sides in the First World War, cross with tragic consequences.
‘In a desperate fight for life, it is said that in those moments when the struggle is almost over and you begin to slip away, your life flashes before you. At 20 years of age Fred did not have much to look back on, but perhaps however short your life your experiences become significant and expand. If Fred did have moments before his death, what would those moments have been before the darkness? A laugh with his mates down the Griffin, watching Brentford play….a girl?’

Reviews for Two Lives
A short moving read
Very poignant; the lives of two young men both driven by patriotism and optimism during WW1. Short and sweet. If you are interested in the human story, then this is for you.
Poignant
A fantastic insight into the 2 very different lives of soldier Fred and his nemesis. Written with great poignancy but injected with humour too.
Excellent Book!
A joy to read! Well written and so interesting. I was gripped from start to finish.
A perfect mix
A perfect mix of personal and military history. A moving reminder of the impact of war on people’s lives.
