A bit hard to follow or even care unless you enjoy and understand military history. (

a good tale of friendship and dedication. there are many good scenes from the book. the scene near the end where the veteran dies with a ramrod tied to his leg to keep him upright is especially touching. both sad and noble.

I favourite book of my teenage years, that, upon re-reading, proved to be a disappointment. (
