A Century of Twenty-Four Hours Christopher J Harvie

10 November 1918: The Great War, the "War to end all Wars", will end, tomorrow. At the front, the Armistice would remain clouded in rumour until only a few hours before the Cease Fire was to go into effect. For the past three months, constant and bloody scraps had forced the Germans out of the old Front Line; it had been a Hundred Days viciously at the heels of a stubborn enemy, one determined not to give any ground without a fight. Sergeant Felix Strachan, King's Own Canadian Scots Regiment, in command of a distant Observation Post wants nothing more than to keep the rest of his depleted Platoon alive long enough to reach an end finally within sight. Over the hours remaining, Felix will be forced to risk losing everything to get everyone through one more day.
