Synopsis

Please note: this book is a revision & merging of previously published titles & contains the 1917 elements of "Franklin & the Kaiser's Battle" , "Franklin on the Somme" & "Vimy". Sergeant Jules Lamont & comrades of Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry prepare for the carefully planned assault on Vimy Ridge. Jack Rigby & pal Billy Townshend of the Bradford Pals & Clem Foster & Mal Duck of the K.O.Y.L.I. also fight in parts of the overall Battle of Arras. Clem’s wife Alice faces a personal crisis & Billy Townshend deals with a blackmail threat. Clem’s mute & deaf sister Annie lip-reads to help Mi5 Agent Ned North ensnare foreign spies. Sergeant Ridley Judde marries Misha but all does not go well. Nurse Lucy Lawson is enmeshed in an operating theatre murder & also an air-raid, stretching all her reserves of willpower. V.A.D. Susie Tallboy changes jobs after a professional loss but gets to meet Jules Lamont. Lt Abraham McClusky meets up with an old antagonist. An execution of a French mutineer goes awry. Meanwhile Lt Franklin suffers stress through the year. Wounded at Passchendaele he is rescued by the odd Arthur Goodkind. He receives therapy at the pioneering hospital Craiglockhart & goes home at Christmas to a surreal environment.
