Indeed, aptly said.
I lost my great uncle Oliver 13/10/1915 at the battle of Loos. He was 17. They never found his body so it is a lonely plaque on a wall.
It was an inglorious slow death drudgery in the trenches where are you might die of disease before stepping on a mine or getting hit by machine gun fire.
My uncle got "shell shock" (PTSD) as a Army medic in an army hospital in South Carolina. He had to help treat men coming back with terrible wounds, battlefield surgery, amputations, and terrible infections that festered on the ships that brought them back. Followed by the Spanish flu epidemic that probably killed many more in the hospital he worked in.
My aunt had to put him in the VA hospital when he became violent later in life.
The fifth and final book of the Jade Owl Legacy sees a full battle for life as we know it. The world is threatened by the denizens of the Jade Village leading the China Hans through a fantastical world and to a conclusive battle.
An alcoholic, miserly attorney reluctantly defends a black man from a false resisting arrest charge. He then discovers damaging information against the cops and two cronies, and embarks on a battle to keep himself and his client alive.
