Synopsis

The Green Curve and Other Stories brings you hard-won moments from the frontline, where courage and doubt share the same breath. This collection immerses readers in wartime scenes, following soldiers through tense waits, strategic gambits, and the thin line between duty and fear. The stories offer a stark, human look at what people endure when plans collide with grit and chance.

Across these pages, you’ll encounter soldiers facing danger, waiting for orders, and weighing what matters most when every moment counts. The focus stays grounded in everyday choices, teamwork, and the pressures of combat, without losing sight of the humanity at the heart of each scene.




  • Vivid battlefield moments that capture sound, light, and the weight of responsibility

  • Character-focused drama, exploring leadership, courage, and fatigue

  • Strategic tensions between planning and improvisation under fire

  • Atmospheric detail that situates readers in wartime settings



Ideal for readers who enjoy war fiction that highlights personal resolve alongside military stakes.

Présentation de l'éditeur

These sketches were originally written for the entertainment of soldiers. As a larger section of the general public now appears to be interested in warfare than was formerly the case, they are republished in a collected form in the hope that they may appeal to a somewhat wider circle. The authors thanks are due to the Editor of Blackwood s Magazine or permission to reprint all but one of the sketches; for permission to reprint this one the author is indebted to the Editor of Macmi UarCs Magazine. As some of the stories deal with matters in which there has been considerable development since the period at which the stories were written, the dates of their first appearance are given. The Kite was published in June, 1906, The Joint in the Harness in January, 1907, and An Eddy of War in A pril, 1907. The latter story was written in collaboration with the late C. V. OLE LUK-OIE.
