In 1915 the Army dispatched Osmond to serve on the Western Front from the fields of England's East Riding of Yorkshire. A farm wagoner at home, he drives horse-pulled wagons in France.
Assigned to a divisional train, he carries supplies to soldiers in the trenches. After injury and treatment in London, he returns to France, where he hauls heavy weapons for the Royal Field Artillery.
Readers of 1914 to 1918: A Time to Remember will learn about Word War 1 and bear witness as Osmond grapples with more than just combat: there are personal adventures, interactions with French citizens, observations of the war, friends court-martialed or lost, the Spanish flu, and his ambitions to own a farm and find a wife. Throughout, he exhibits no desire to harm anyone.
