Synopsis

In this sequel to ‘Beyond this Horizon’, which saw Thomas Arthur Taylor, known to everyone as Tat, be the first in his family to spread his wings and leave his hillside home in the Upper Eden Valley to study law at University College London, we follow Tat’s progress as he joins the law firm Mott, Bradshaw and Lewis, in Carlisle. Whilst progressing as a solicitor, his spare time is spent playing rugby for the City Rugby Club’s First Team and singing, semi-professionally, at various social functions. One of Tat’s rugby friends is a Territorial soldier with the Border Regiment and Tat needs little encouragement to join up. A blossoming career, a rich social life and eventually a family of his own, Tat believes his life is complete. However, with the outbreak of war with Germany in 1939, Tat receives compulsory call-up. Things don’t quite go to plan and Tat finds himself posted to Hong Kong as a non-combatant. When the Japanese overwhelm the colony the consequences are devastating.
