As the day draws closer — I wrote this 90 minutes before the 11th hour of the 11th day 100 years after the end of The War to End All Wars
In the previous entry, I have added a poem by Mary Borden
I would encourage you to buy and read her works. Not available as ebooks alas, but as paperbacks. My first purchase arrived 2 days ago The Forbidden Zone
Intensely moving. Her prose reads as if it were written in modern times, not from the beginning of the last century. Take a quiet moment and read her memoir. A small section at a time, so that you can reflect on the events that were of the moment, and on the emotions which are timeless
Two further books are awaited:
Mary Borden: A Woman of Two Wars Paperback – 1 Oct 2009

Poems of Love and War Paperback – 1 Oct 2015
