But for this is war, apologies are not heard from, but are observed upon." - Hierd Die Grace

This story is a romance that takes place in World War I. *Some things in this story are made up or completely fiction. I did my research on most things to make it as accurate as possible.* *If I make any mistakes on history or anything please do let me know, it would be much appreciated."

***Unedited*** A companion story to my novel Shadows May Fall. *Folks who have been reading along - you may have noticed that some of the parts have been unpublished (the ones set in 1904 and 1908.) The reason for this is that while I really enjoyed delving into the past with these characters and fleshing out Daniel and Lillian, they weren't really adding anything and coming up with a third one to fill the gap was just that -- filling the gap. I'll post them over at my website once this story is complete.

Then, the story changes to Edward's perspective, Jack's friend, a boy who travelled in first class. Inspired by Jack's bravery and selflessness, Edward enlists in the military as World War I looms. The story chronicles Edward's journey from the luxurious decks of the Titanic to the harrowing trenches of war, where he grapples with fear, loss, and the moral dilemmas of combat.

The Family that Went to War is both a family memoir and a history of the people of the state of New South Wales, Australia. The author, Gordon Smith, gives a well-documented account of six members of a family from Cootamundra, NSW, who enlisted in the First Australian Imperial Force (1st AIF) at the onset of World War I. His research in historical archives, newspapers, and memorial societies is well done. The accounts of war and details of each man's deployment presume that he also had their war diaries and letters from home to draw on for detail. The Commonwealth of Australia was still a young country, having formed a federation just over a decade previous. Australians still regarded Britain as their mother country, and when war broke out, Australia's Prime Minister declared support for Great Britain and formally entered the Great War. Six members of the family enlisted to fight the German army. He tells each man's story with informative passages about the region they are in, the larger picture of the war that raged around them, and then brings it back down to the trenches where the soldiers fought. Smith's details regarding ships, armaments, shortages and hardships and other details of the soldiers' experiences in Egypt and France will be of great interest to readers fascinated by World War I or the contribution of Australia to the Great War. Though the author writes with detachment, the stories of these soldiers in the midst of historical battles give a glimpse into the life, and death, of Australian soldiers. I was particularly interested in the account of William Power, fighting on the Western Front at Fromelles France. The losses to the Australian forces were described as, "the worst 24 hours in Australia's entire history". Though the account is given in a very matter-of-fact manner, it's hard not to sympathise with the Australian soldiers. Despite the dry, academic tone of the account, there are moments of humour and humanity that shine through.

"It's cute" And like everytime I open my mouth something bad happens... "Cute, I never heard that one before" a suave voice say. And that how a very complicated,intricate, troublesome friendship with the Shelby Family started.
